John Gordon Gale, D.-S.O., R.A.
Throughout the operations on the Kodish front
between 28th and 30th August, 1919, he showed great gallantry. He carried out
the duties of F.O.O., and, without any regard to his personal safety, remained
near the enemy's wire, so as to be able to ensure the accuracy of the artillery
fire. (D.S.O. gazetted 3rd June, 1918.)'
