Military Medal 'On the night of 29th/30th September 1917, when the 49th Battery was moving to occupy a forward position Eat of the ESTHOEK RIDGE near YPRES, the gun position and vicinity were subjected to very heavy hostile fire from 5.9" and 8" Hows just as the guns had arrived. A number of casualties occurred, one of the Battery Officers being wounded, No. 1046 Sergeant G.D. GORRY, 49th Battery, showing utter disregard of personal safety, after getting the teams away, assisted in the removal of the wounded, and was instrumental in preventing further casualties to personnel horses and equipment. His splendid example in a difficult situation is deserving of special recognition.'
