London Gazette: 21.9.1945 (D.F.C.)
Serving with 582 Squadron.

Flying Officer Buss has completed a second tour of operations as a Visual Bomb Aimer. During his tour he has shown himself to be an excellent crew member and has obtained a high standard of accuracy. He is strongly recommended for the non-immediate award of the DFC.


London Gazette 21.4.1944 (D.F.M.)

This NCO has completed a very long tour of operations carried out over Germany and in the Mediterranean theatre of war. He has at all times displayed keen determination to carry out his missions successfully, and his outstanding knowledge of his equipment and its uses have been of great value to the squadron. Despite many hazardous trips over diverse and difficult targets, he has shown complete disregard for personal safety in volunteering readily for extra duties whenever called upon. In recognition of his services, I recommend the award of the D.F.M.


Remarks by Officer Commanding Wing:

The efforts of Sergeant Buss have at all times been characterised by keenness, courage and devotion to duty. His competency as an Air Gunner instilled great confidence in the remainder of his crew - his keenness to undertake the most difficult and hazardous missions was an example to his squadron as a whole. In recognition I recommend the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.


The D.F.C and WW2 campaign medals apart from the Italy Star have been privately engraved. The D.F.M. is officially engraved.

The medals are all in good condition and are court mounted for wear.

Comes with substantial copy research including a list of all sorties and missions, histories of his squadron, LG entries, copies of original citations, dates of promotions, etc. Please see photos.

A nice R.C.A.F. / Pathfinders double gallantry group.
