FL/LT Wilfred Rowland HIDE

I am trying to find out a little more information of Flt/Lt Wilfred Rowland HIDE service number 50466 of 12 Squadron.

His award of the DFC was gazetted on 14/05/43 and at this time he was a Pilot Officer.

What i would like to know is whether anyone has the citation as to why he awarded the decoration, and what his position was within the bomber.

Thank you in advance,
David.

Hi Amrit1,

Do you have the full citation?

If you do is there any chance of posting it here, or perhaps sending me a private message with it. Thank you for your reply, David.
