Gordon-Hughes was an exceptionally gallant young man, he was very highly thought of, and liked, by every officer and man in the Battn. I believe he did more than one brave act, which entitled him to promotion, high mention, and reward, but the officers of his Coy., who saw and knew of these brave acts were all killed or prisoners, and there was no one left to bring these conspicuous acts of bravery, etc., before the O.C.

W. N. Kirkland wrote: “I have known your son since he joined the Battn. in Sept. last, and since the beginning of this year, when the double-coy. organisation was adopted, he has been in my Platoon. Your son was one of the coy. bombers, and when we were ordered to attack a portion of the German trench, he went forward with the bombers in order to drive out the Huns. While doing this he unfortunately was killed. I am sure his death has caused a great loss to the Coy., as bombers are of the utmost importance when attacking the enemy’s trench and it is difficult to find brave and capable men for this.”

Immediate medical attention was given, but the bullet had passed through the lung and death occurred within about half an hour. He was buried in East Anglia Gully Cemetery; _unm._ His troop officer wrote: “When he came to this regt. in Sept. he was placed in my troop, and although I had thus been his Troop Officer only for a few months they were more than ample to enable one to judge of his good qualities and to feel that, in addition to the thoroughness and loyalty which he always put into his work as a soldier in the form of warfare that we have been through, he would have given a good account of himself in open battle if the opportunity had been allowed him.”
