Distinguished Service Order

Pilot Officer DUNSTAN previously served with the Australian Imperial Forces during the first campaign in the Western Desert and during the seige of Tobruk was wounded and had his left leg amputated.

This officer has completed a tour as air gunner and despite the handicap of going to his aircraft on crutches and crawling out to his turret on one leg, he is one of the coolest and most skilful air gunners in the Squadron.

Pilot Officer DUNSTAN has completed many important missions and has invariably displayed great courage and devotion to duty. He has shown unique determination and has proved an inspiration to all with whom he has come in contact.
