Following the publication yesterday of the report that two or more sons of six New Zealand families have received air awards overseas,-news has been received to-day of a further addition to this notable record. The latest to join the list are Mr and Mrs E. A. Thompson, of Waipiro Bay. whose son, Flightsergeant. Forest Harold Thompson, has been- awarded the D.F.M. for work in many big raids over Germany and Italy as a member of a Stirling crew. His brother, the late Flying-officer Onslow Thompson, had also been awarded the D.F.M. An interesting point is that of the seven New Zealand families with double air awards three reside in the Gisborne district.
