He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Crooss "Pilot Officer Tease, on the completion of his first tour of operations, has proven himself to be a most courageous and skillful Captain of aircraft. Although detailed to attack some of the enemy's most heavily defended targets, this officer, with complete disregard of all opposition, never once failed to successfully bomb his objective and bring his crew back safely to base. Pilot Officer Tease, under a calm and quiet manner, has shown a fine offensive spirit in action, which set a magnificent example to his crew." |
