He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his actions in early 1944 and the award was presented to him on 5 July that year by King George VI at Royal Air Force Station, Witchford. The citation reads, 'Flight Lieutenant SEDDON has completed a large number of bombing sorties during which he has attacked various targets with success. This officer has displayed great skill and determination, qualities which were amply demonstrated on a recent occasion when attacking Berlin. In spite of intense anti-aircraft fire, he made several runs over the target area to release his bombs. Flight Lieutenant SEDDON is a most efficient captain whose example has proven most inspiring.' F/Lt Seddon was discharged from the RAAF on 19 September 1945.
