the machine to dive with the engine full on. He climbed out,
standing outside the fuselage on the lower plane, dragged the
pilot back, and, switching off the engine, pulled the machine
out of its dive. Not being a trained pilot, his act exhibited
great fearlessness and skill.

example of courage and determination.

EVANS, 2/Lt. Thomas Kelvin 3/Northumberland Fusiliers

VIEUX BERQUIN, 7th August, 1918. He made a reconnaissance in
advance of a patrol which was held up by machine-gun fire from

FLAVY-LE-MARTEL, 23rd March, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry

his support company, reorganised the line, and reached and
consolidated the final objective, commanding all three companies
until relieved by the arrival of the C.O. He has done consistent
good work.

FARRIMOND, 2/Lt. William 15/Royal Warwick

W. of MERVILLE, 19/20 July, 1918. He brilliantly executed a raid

with the utmost confidence.

FEARN, Capt. Cecil Augustus 4/K.O.Y.L.I.

Near AVESNES-LE-SEC, 13th October, 1918. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty. He displayed the greatest

had orders to advance. An hour after receiving the orders he
led his platoon forward, and, although he had never seen the
country before him during daylight, kept direction accurately,
quickly taking each objective as he came to it. Although met
by hostile machine-gun fire, he pushed on through two hostile
strong points, capturing a machine gun and the gunners, and
establishing himself well in advance of his final objective.
By his coolness under fire not only did he set a good example
to his platoon but inflicted many losses on the enemy, whom he
encountered in greatly superior numbers.

devotion to duty while in charge of the right attacking platoon
in a raid on the hostile lines. He displayed a fine fighting
spirit and powers of leadership, personally accounting for many

surviving officer, and his gallant behaviour throughout was a
fine example to all ranks.

FORBES, Lieut. George Freeman Murray 1/Gloucester

N. of GRICOURT, 29th September, 1918, when a frontal attack was
held up, this officer on his own initiative worked round on a

and coolness and captured his objective under very heavy rifle
and machine-gun fire.

from the reserve company through heavy shell fire with
great gallantry and ability, reaching the forward companies
with ammunition and entrenching tools, immediately after
the objective had been gained, thereby greatly assisting
the consolidation. When he found that one of the forward
companies had lost nearly all its officers, he sent his platoon
back, remaining himself to assist in the organisation and

out in spite of heavy shell and machine-gun fire. He displayed
throughout great coolness and complete disregard of danger.

Awarded 3rd June, 1919.

GARRARD, 2/Lt. Cyril Proctor R.E.

devotion to duty when in command of Stokes mortar section. When
the leading wave was held up by machine-gun fire, he brought

which he grasped the situation enabled the infantry to advance
and gain their objective with small loss.

GAYWOOD, 2/Lt. Frederick James 8/East Surrey (T.M.B.)

S. of MIRAUMONT, 15th February, 1917. He established his two

Near PRIEZ FARM, 1st September, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty. He kept his company close behind the
barrage, and took the farm in the first rush, the garrison of
about 100 retiring. By the time the enemy counter-attacked he
had organised a strong defence, and easily beat them off. With
the assistance of two other officers he gradually rounded up
the enemy in the vicinity, and after seven hours’ fighting they
surrendered. His initiative and leadership gained this very
formidable strong point.

GEORGE, Major Walter Hope 16/M.G.C.

Awarded 3rd June, 1919.

GIBBONS, Capt. James FitzGeorge 2/Notts & Derby

GIBBS, Capt. Lawrence Henry 10/Lancashire Fusiliers

GOUZEAUCOURT, 9th September, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty. This officer led his men through a heavy

throughout the day’s fighting, constantly exposing himself and
encouraging his men.

GIBBS, Capt. Thomas Raleigh 2/Highland L.I.

N. of VERTAIN, 23rd October, 1918. For most conspicuous
gallantry and initiative during the operations. On reaching his
objective he discovered a pocket of the enemy holding a sunken
road. He rushed forward with one N.C.O. and killed two of the
enemy and captured thirty. Six machine guns were found in the
road, and but for his dash and courage a dangerous situation
would have arisen.

BAR TO M.C.

Awarded 1st January, 1919.

GIBSON, Lieut. Archibald 2/Royal Scots Fusiliers

LEDEGHEM, 14th October, 1918. During the advance he was
conspicuous for his initiative and contempt of danger. His
company was in support, and on seeing the front company held up
by heavy machine-gun fire he personally reconnoitred the ground
and then pushed a platoon round the flank which captured the
position and thus allowed the flank to advance. After taking
the final objective he went forward under machine-gun fire and
sniping, got in touch with his flanks, and selected the best
positions for his men.

GIBSON, 2/Lt. Dudley Robert 4/Royal Berks

FAUQUISSART, 19th July, 1916. He led his platoon with great

daring reconnaissances of the enemy’s position.

BAR TO M.C.

NEUVE EGLISE, 13th April, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry and

probably many lives as well.

GILLESPIE, Lieut. Thomas Leslie 4/Worcester

E. of BAILLEUL, 1st September, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry
and good leadership. When his company, which had been ordered
to move up and fill a gap between two corps, was held up by
machine-gun fire, he went forward and by personal reconnaissance
located enemy machine guns, and turned his Lewis guns on to them
with great effect, thus clearing the way for his company. The
success of the advance was largely due to his fine courage and
personal example.

GILLOTT, Lieut. Cecil 14/Durham L.I.

Near MORCHAIN, 25th March, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty. When defending part of a line with his
platoon, although wounded early in the attack, he remained with

coolness and absolute disregard for personal safety, his platoon
was able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, and to hold them
up until they had worked round the flanks.

Awarded 1st January, 1918.

GLOVER, 2/Lt. Montague Charles 6/Royal Warwick

GODFREY, 2/Lt. Stanley Charles 2/Royal Scots Fusiliers

GUN TRENCH, 30th September, 1915. For conspicuous gallantry
when the Germans had succeeded in entering Gun Trench and were

till 5 a.m. next day.

GOLDIE, Capt. Bernard Charles Mary 10/London

Near SIVRI TEPE, EGYPT, 19th September, 1918, For conspicuous
gallantry and dash during the operations. He, in conjunction
with another officer, each in command of a platoon of the
advanced guard, though taken on both flanks by machine-gun fire,
pushed on, captured their objective and several prisoners. This
manœuvre turned Sivri Tepe, and was instrumental in causing the
enemy to retire, thus materially assisting the advance.

GOLDSBURY, 2/Lt. Charles Melville 7/London

Near HOLLEBEKE, 9/10 July, 1917. When in command of a raid, he
was the first to reach the farm which was the objective, and in
spite of enemy barrage and heavy rifle fire dashed on ahead and
bombed the place, setting it on fire and capturing 10 prisoners.
He was severely wounded whilst returning, having remained
behind in the burning building to search for a trench mortar.
The success of the enterprise was entirely due to his splendid
example of fearlessness and personal leading.

GOSLETT, Capt. Raymond Gwynne R.A.S.C.

Awarded 1st January, 1918.

GOSNEY, Lieut. Harold William 13/Rifle Brigade

Near LOUVIGNIES, 4th November, 1918. For conspicuous
gallantry and cool ability. His company commander and others

consolidation on the battalion front.

GOTCH, 2/Lt. Davis Ingle 6/Northampton

REGINA TRENCH, 25th to 29th October, 1916. For conspicuous

E. of POELCAPPELLE, 31st March and 1st April, 1918. He was in
command of a patrol which was fired on by an enemy machine gun
at a range of 30 yards, and three of his men were wounded. He
succeeded in dragging two of them back with the help of the
third man a distance of 200 yards to a point where he could
return to our lines and bring back help. His courageous and
determined action prevented the men from falling into the
enemy’s hands.

GOULD, Lieut. Cyril Edward 280th (London) Brigade, R.F.A.

SEBOURG, 5th November, 1918. Whilst coming into action in a
new position, his battery came under heavy fire, which caused
a block in the traffic and the ditching of one of the guns. He
displayed great presence of mind and coolness, quickly found
another route of advance, and eventually got the battery forward
into action. He thereby enabled not only his battery but many
others in the rear to get forward and into action.

GRAHAM, Lieut. Keith 15/Hampshire

MENIN, 2nd October, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry and
devotion to duty. Although nearly surrounded by enemy machine

Near FRELINGHEM, 1st October, 1917. For conspicuous gallantry
and devotion to duty. When sent out on a patrol with three men

made a thorough reconnaissance. On returning, the enemy made
an unsuccessful attempt to cut him off, and he withdrew his
patrol under fire without a casualty. On the following night
when on patrol he was instrumental in the discovery of a second
footbridge, and owing to his good leadership his patrol gained
most valuable information. On both occasions he showed great
determination and sound judgment.

GRAY, Capt. Harold Vernon 6/Gloucester

HOLNON WOOD, 22nd March, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry and

clear report.

GRAY, 2/Lt. Harry Albert Royal West Kent

N. of YPRES-MENIN ROAD, 3rd October, 1917. For conspicuous
gallantry and devotion to duty in maintaining direction as
leader of an assaulting wave. When his company commander became
a casualty he reorganised the company, which had lost over 60
per cent., and beat off several minor attacks. He remained
with his men in a shallow trench when they were being heavily
shelled, when he might have gone to his headquarters. The good
work done by the company was mainly due to his splendid example.

GRAY, Lieut. James 5/Royal West Surrey

Near GRAND ROZOY, 29th July, 1918. He repeatedly

situations.

withdrawal, and then brought back his men in perfect order. In a
later attack he captured all his objectives and took command of
a large number of troops who had lost their leaders. The success
achieved was largely due to his courage and coolness.

occasions displayed the utmost dash and fearlessness in

engaging enemy aircraft at close range, and has succeeded
in destroying a considerable number. He also attacked with
machine-gun fire, and from low altitudes, enemy formations on
the ground, and dropped bombs on points of importance behind the
hostile lines. He has invariably shown great determination and a
fine offensive spirit.

HANCOCK, Capt. Ernest R.G.A.

BEUVRY, 18th April, 1918. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion
to duty. The section in which this officer was in command was

had a great effect on his men.

HARRISON, 2/Lt. Edward Harrison R.E.

E. of NIEUPORT, 10th July, 1917. For conspicuous gallantry and

under heavy fire, through which he rushed without hesitation to
warn an advancing battalion of the position of his company. He
averted what might have been a most unfortunate accident by his
promptitude and disregard of danger.

YPRES, 31st July, 1917. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion

a fresh supply should reach them as soon as possible, he led
an ammunition party forward about two-and-a-half miles over
the most difficult country, exposed the whole time to the
heaviest shell fire and without a guide. One third of his party
were knocked out, but he safely delivered the ammunition, and
hearing on his return journey that a hostile counter-attack was
probable, he turned his party about and again reported to the
battalion headquarters in case his aid should be required. His
determination and devotion to duty set a splendid example to his
party.

immediately went up through a heavy barrage and took command.
He organised and controlled the fire of the garrison with such
effect that the enemy began to waver, so he promptly advanced,

withdrew, after ascertaining their dispositions. His courage and
coolness throughout the whole operations were very marked.
