London Gazette 20 February 1945. The original Recommendation, dated 21 November 1944, states: ‘As rear gunner of a blind marker crew Flight Sergeant Robertson has made 54 sorties including many to heavily defended areas. His ceaseless vigilance has given a sense of security to the other crew members and thus improve the quality of their work. He is an excellent gunner who is at pains to keep himself and his armament at the peak of his efficiency and is always prepared to give a good account of himself in a tight corner. He strongly recommended for a non-immediate award of the Distinguished Flying Medal. Remarks by Station Commander: This N.C.O. has proved himself, in his operational career, to have outstanding courage and efficiency. His high sense of devotion to duty makes him very worthy of the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal. Remarks by Air Officer Commanding: Strongly recommended.’ John Scott Robertson enlisted in the Royal Air Force in 1943 and whilst undergoing training in Wellingtons flew two operational sorties in August 1943. After converting to Lancasters, he received his first operational posting to 576 Squadron (Lancasters) based at R.A.F.

Transferring to 156 Squadron, Pathfinder Force, based at R.A.F. Upwood in March 1944, Robertson’s first operational sortie with his new Squadron was a raid on Berlin on 24 March 1944, followed up by a raid on Essen two days later.
