Distinguished Flying Cross ( DFC ) Lieut . ( A . / Capt . ) Francis Ryan Smith , M . C . ( Australian F . C . ) . ( FRANCE ) This officer combines high individual enterprise and determination with exceptionally able leadership . These qualities were conspicuous on 14 October , when , leading a patrol of five machines , he saw a formation of twelve Fokker biplanes above him . Relying on the co - operation of another higher formation of Bristol machines , he , deliberately manoeuvred his formation into a disadvantageous position in order that our higher patrol might be able to attack the enemy while the latter ' s attention was concentrated upon destroying his , Lt . Smith ' s , formation . The stratagem was entirely successful , with the result that two enemy machines were destroyed and two others were believed to crash . The Fokkers were then reinforced by eight more machines , and in the ensuing combat Lt . Smith shot down one in flames , his patrol destroying two others . We suffered no casualties . References .

Quail - class destroyer Four " Quail " - class destroyers served with the Royal Navy . These ships were all built by Laird , Son & Co . and were the first of the ' thirty knotters ' . Concern about the higher speeds of foreign boats had prompted to Admiralty to order new destroyers capable of 30 knots , rather than the 27 knot requirement which had been standard . The boats were not able to make this speed in bad weather , where they were usually wet and uncomfortable with cramped crew quarters , but they proved their toughness in serving through the Great War , despite being twenty years old . Thanks to their watertight bulkheads , their thin plating and light structure they were able to take a great deal of damage and remain afloat , although their plates buckled easily , affecting their handling . The ships were fitted with Normand boiler s which generated around 6 , 300 HP . They were armed with the standard twelve pounder and two torpedo tubes and carried a complement of 63 officers and men . Ships of this type bore four funnels and were designated B - class destroyers .
