So ended Buck Casson’s war. During his career as an operational fighter pilot, Buck had destroyed 3½ enemy aircraft, probably destroyed four, and damaged four more. His DFC was gazetted the week after he was shot down and captured, the citation acknowledging that:

This officer has been engaged on operations over a long period and has destroyed two, probably destroyed four and damaged a further two enemy aircraft. Flight Lieutenant Casson carried out many offensive patrols following the Dunkirk evacuation and later fought in the Battle of Britain. This year he has participated in a large number of offensive patrols over Northern France. His efficiency, leadership and courage have set an excellent example.
