Awarded Military Cross
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion. On many occasions he has displayed the highest courage and skill in successfully bombing stations and trains, often at very low altitudes, and has always given a fine example of energy and determination.'
Awarded Distinguished Flying Cross
'On the 6th August 1918 at 8.20 on this officer attacked horse and motor transport by means of bombs and machine gun fire from a very low altitude. He persisted in the attack for some considerable time until all the transport personnel had taken cover. He fired in all 600 rounds at these targets, dispersing the transport causing one vehicle to upset in a ditch, and creating alarm and casualties amongst the personnel. Again on the evening of the 7th instant at 5.10 pm he dropped two 25lb bombs on a train between Armentieres and Perenchies from 150 ft. Both bombs fell alongside the train which stopped. He then attacked the train with machine gun fire from 200 ft. Afterwards he encountered a 2 seater hostile machine which only escaped owing to failures in both machine guns. Having remedied these, he attacked a party of 100 enemy on the road between Armentieres and Fleurbaix from a low altitude. The part was scattered in all directions, and several men were seen to fall. The squadron commanded by major McCloughry have particularly distinguished themselves while under his command and have been specially active and successful in low flying attacks on trains, transport, billets and hostile low flying machines. I attribute their success largely to the splendid morale created by his personality and leadership.'
Awarded Distinguished Service Order
'The record of No 4 Squadron AFC when they were equipped with Sopwith Camels was quite unparalleled both in the number of hostile aircraft destroyed, their almost insignificant loss in personnel, and the persistence with which they continually flew at the lowest altitudes and carried out almost innumerable low flying raids against the enemy on the ground. The high moral and individual enterprise of the officers of this Squadron are beyond my power to express, and their career must be largely attributed to the great personality and influence of their leader. He himself introduced a unique system for the instruction and training of his new Pilots, and have having set a high standard he succeeded in supporting it with such weight of opinion amongst the officers themselves, that no Pilot dared to show himself deficient of the highest qualities. When his Squadron was re-armed with Sopwith Snipes the change in type necessitated a complete reversal of the previous serial experience of the Squadron. For-seeing this, he took the greatest care to instruct his Pilots in the new method of handling their machine and in the necessary change of fighting tactics which were imposed by their new equipment. He was the first officer in the Squadron to destroy a hostile machine with the new type of aeroplane, and matured the experience of his Pilots by his personal leadership on a large number of occasions. Consequently his Pilots accounted for upwards of 30 hostile aeroplanes in the short space of three days.'
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion. On many occasions he has displayed the highest courage and skill in successfully bombing stations and trains, often at very low altitudes, and has always given a fine example of energy and determination.'
Awarded Distinguished Flying Cross
'On the 6th August 1918 at 8.20 on this officer attacked horse and motor transport by means of bombs and machine gun fire from a very low altitude. He persisted in the attack for some considerable time until all the transport personnel had taken cover. He fired in all 600 rounds at these targets, dispersing the transport causing one vehicle to upset in a ditch, and creating alarm and casualties amongst the personnel. Again on the evening of the 7th instant at 5.10 pm he dropped two 25lb bombs on a train between Armentieres and Perenchies from 150 ft. Both bombs fell alongside the train which stopped.
