      "For meritorious achivement while participating in aerial flight in command of a reconnaissance bomber, serving with a Marine Aricraft Group during action against three enemy Japanese fighters south-west of Vella Lavella, Solomon Islands, on November 27, 1942. After relaying to his home base a complete report on the hostile task force which he had sighted, Flying Officer Gudsell, amid a hail of bursting anti-aircraft shells, precariously hovered over the surface vessels to obtain further important information by closer observation. When suddenly set upon by three fighters who blasted the top gun turret out of action and then concentrated their attacks on the stern of his bomber, he employed such skilful evasive tactics and fire control that the Japanese aircraft were forced to break off the engagement and retire. With superb airmanship and courageous leadership, he brought his plane through perilous action under fire against heavy odds to retun to safety without personnel injury and with only a minimum of material damage." Hanson p. 224 AWMM
