Dunville, R.N., and this posthumous award for a magnificently courageous act will be some consolation to the family in their great loss. The details of the deed which won this coveted honour are as follows :— 2nd Lieut. J. S. DUNVIIXE, late Dragoons.—For most conspicuous bravery. When in charge of a party consisting of scouts and Royal Engineers engaged in the demolition of the enemy's wire, this officer displayed great gallantry and disregard of all personal danger. In order to ensure the. absolute success of the work entrusted to him, Sec. Lieut. Dunville placed himself between a non-commissioned officer «f the Royal Engineers and the enemy's fire, and, thus pro- tected, this non-commissioned officer was enabled to complete a work of great importance. Sec. Lieut. Dunville, although severely wounded, continued to direct his men in the wire- cutting and general operations until the raid was success- fully completed, thereby setting a magnificent example of courage, .determination, and devotion to duty to all ranks under his command. This gallant officer has since succumbed to his wounds. Supremacy at the Front. rsr a message on July 31st, Reuter's correspondent on _the British front says the work done by the Royal Flying Corps and the Naval Air Service during the past few days is magnificent, and for the time being we have established complete supremacy of the'air in the region of the offensive. Guynemer's Half a Century. As the successes of French airmen are most scrupulously investigated before they are credited to them, says the Times, it may be taken that the official announcement means that Captain Guynemer has destroyed 50 German aeroplanes. It does not at all follow that this is the total number of enemy machines that he has driven down. Guynemer's wonderful record is the work of about two years. As a Flying Sergeant he had brought down his fifth machine at the beginning of February in last year, and, in the interval, he has accounted for 45 other enemy airmen and been promoted to the rank of captain. He heads the list of victorious French airmen, and has been decorated with the Legion of Honour, the Military Medal, and the Russian Cross of St. George. He has also achieved the distinction of bringing down four of his enemies in one day. 814
