George Ivan Carmichael's DSO was mentioned in the London Gazette as follows: Lieutenant (temporary Captain) George Ivan Carmichael, Royal Artillery and Royal Flying Corps. For conspicuous gallantry, daring, and ability throughout the Campaign. On the 11th instant [March 1915] he destroyed the rails at Menin railway station by dropping a bomb, weighing 100 lbs, thereon from a height of only 120 feet. On the return journey his engine was damaged by a bullet which necessitated his flying at a height of less than 200 feet. Captain Carmichael has also rendered service in observing Artillery fire. (London Gazette, 27 March 1915, page 3079)
