Citation de mérite
Captain Maxwell Stanfield Eaton Archibald, M.C. was awarded a Military Cross per the London Gazette Third Supplement of Issue 30901, page 10915, date of issue 13 September 1918 “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He has taken part in fourteen successful bombing raids, twenty-five successful low bombing and reconnaissance flights, and eleven successful photographic flights. On one occasion he was attacked by ten enemy scouts and drove down one completely out of control. He has engaged enemy troops from low altitudes, and his excellent work, good spirits and total disregard of danger have been a fine example to all.” https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30901/supplement/10915
