Rank:

Flight Sergeant

Unit:

No. 35 (Madras Presidency) Squadron, Royal Air Force

Awarded on:

December 12th, 1944

Recommendation:
"This N.C.O. has a fine record of service as a Mid-Upper Gunner having completed 53 operational sorties. His crew has operated for a long period in a most important role and has attacked some of the most heavily defended targets in Germany, amongst them Berlin, Schweinfurt, Nuremburg and Cologne. Flight Sergeant Nuttall sets an example of coolness under the heaviest fire and always shows the greatest skill in directing his Captain in avoiding fighter and searchlight interception. It is considered that this N.C.O’s fine record of service and devotion to duty fully merits the non-immediate award of the Distinguished Flying Medal."
