Citation:
"In September, 1942, 15 enemy aircraft attempted an attack on a convoy voyaging in the Arctic Ocean, Flying Officer Burr, whose aircraft was launched by catapult from the deck of one of the ships, engaged the enemy force with great skill and daring. Despite the odds, he destroyed one of the attackers and drove the others off. After ensuring that the enemy had abandoned their attack, Flying Officer Burr set course for land and reached an aerodrome with only a few gallons of petrol left in the tanks. This officer, who has always completed his tasks with similar determination, displayed great courage and devotion to duty throughout."
