      “Warrant Officer Tomlins has made several sorties against a wide variety of enemy targets, including some of the most heavily defended deep in Germany. After the landing of the Allied Forces on the Continent he worked closely with the British Army by taking part in sorties against enemy communications, which operations assisted in the liberation of Belgium. Warrant Officer Tomlins has displayed keenness and efficiency together with determination and a devotion to duty that gained him the confidence of his crew, and set an example of the highest order in the squadron.” AWMM
