He was credited with five aerial victories in Palestine between May and August 1918 when flying a Bristol F.2 Fighter.[1] Paul claimed two victories on 23 May 1918, near Nablus. One of the two Albatros D.Vs was piloted by German ace Gustav Schneidewind, who was wounded in both arms. Paul then destroyed Rumpler reconnaissance planes on 13 June, 28 July, and 16 August 1918. The July win was shared with Alan Brown and Garfield Finlay.[2] Paul and his observer William Weir were jointly awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross on 8 February 1919. Paul never knew of the honor; while on the voyage home to New Zealand, he drowned on 22 January 1919.[3] Honors and awardsDistinguished Flying Cross (DFC)Lieut.

They have also displayed great courage and skill in air combats, having destroyed four enemy aircraft.
