F l y i n g Officer HAROLD ALFRED HAINES.
During June and July, 1919, this officer performed numerous acts of gallantry
in the operations of the " Syren " Force, North Russia. His work has been
characterised by care and judgment, coupled with a total disregard of personal
danger. He has taken part in numerous actions against the enemy from a
very low altitude, and consequently at great risk, which resulted in the infliction
of rnavy casualties and great damage being done to the enemy's
rolling stock, ships, and bridges.
