Citations
LG 29 November 1940 pg. 6813 - "In August and September, 1940, regardless of attacks by enemy fighters, Lieutenant Armstrong, with conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty, obtained photographs of strategical value in the Mogadishu area. The photographs were instrumental in locating important targets which were later demolished by his squadron."
