SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 27 MARCH, 1945 (DFC):
Acting Squadron Leader Robert William Rouviere
DAY (Can./C. 1459), R.C.A.F., 67 Sqn.
Squadron Leader Day is a most determined and
resolute fighter. He has completed a large number
of sorties and has invariably displayed the greatest
keenness. In January, 1945, Squadron Leader Day
led a section of four aircraft in an engagement
against six Japanese aircraft. Five of the latter
were shot down, two of them by Squadron Leader
Day. This officer has shot down at least five
enemy aircraft.
