He was subsequently shot down by an ME110 on the night of 7th Sep 1943 when he was a screen pilot on 1657 HCU at Stradishall supervising a Sgt Gilkes and his crew in Stirling W7455.He died in Newmarket hospital on 8th Sep 1943.
Any help appreciated

Hi Steve
According to Matons "Honour the Air Forces" you need to check 136933 L F Smith in the London Gazette of 14 5 1943 on page 2156 - whether you will just see his name in a list that came up with the rations or an actual citation I have no idea.
Best of luck - please advise
