Flying Officer FREDERICK HARRY ISAAC.
On June n , 1919, whilsr serving with the " Syren " Force in North Russia,
this pilot was on patrol endeavouring to prevent reinforcements from reaching
the enemy's front; he descended to within 50 ft. of the ground, and, whilst
exposed to heavy fire, succeeded in cutting their line, with bombs. During
the night the enemy repaired the line, and Pilot Isaac on hearing of this
proceeded to the scene and again destroyed it from a height of only 30 ft.,
his machine sustaining heavy damage from the enemy's fire, as well as from
his own bombs. The gallantry and determination of this officer will be
more readily appreciated when it is borne in mind that his machine was a
seaplane, operating seven miles inland.
