Quill also recieved a United States Commendation; “The Commander Aircraft, Northern Solomons, takes pleasure in commending WING COMMANDER STANLEY GILBERT QUILL, ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE for services as set forth in the following CITATION: For skilful and effective performance of duty while serving as Assistant Operations Officer on the staff of Commander Aircraft Northern Solomons from November 1944 to 11 March 1945. Wing Commander Quill in this position used his broad knowledge and tactical experience to help in the origin and supervision of aerial strikes against the enemy in the Northern Solomons Area. His knowledge of air operations and his invaluable advice and suggestions were largely responsible for the excellent co-ordination and efficient operations of units under this command. The neutralisation of enemy air activity, the large destruction of enemy personnel and material and the excellent co-ordination with the Australian Army ground operations was a reflection on the precise planning and effective tactics originated by the Operations Section of the Commander Aircraft Northern Solomons. Wing Commander Quill at all times performed his duties with a degree of skill, energy, and enthusiasm in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service.” [Sgd] R J Mitchell, Major General, U.S. Marine Corps, Commander Aircraft, Northern Solomons."
