Squadron Leader David Lindsay WILSON completed a tour of operations in the South West Pacific and he has flown a total of fifty five operational missions in jet fighter aircraft in Korea. He has lead his squadron with skill and vigour, frequently in the face of overwhelming superiority and by his courage set a remarkably high standard. His determined leading on the afternoon of the 24th October, and the morning of the 27th October, 1951, greatly assisted in beating off aggressive attacks by enemy aircraft against the bombers his squadron was escorting. Squadron Leader Wilson has already been wounded in operations and his example, leadership and devotion to duty are of the highest order.

Unit: No. 77 Squadron, RAAF
