Military Medal 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the attack on VILLE-SUR-ANCRE near ALBERT on the morning of 19th May, 1918. With his Lewis Gun he engaged and silenced two enemy Machine guns which were causing great trouble on the left flank of the attack, and by using the Lewis Gun from the hip he kept down both rifle and Machine Gun fire, thereby inspiring the remainder of his Company, who at this time had their flank exposed. On reaching the objective he emplaced his gun on this exposed flank and kept it in action, thus securing the position while our line was established. During the whole of the attack Lance Corporal GORMAN displayed great coolness and initiative.'
