Military Medal 'For gallantry and devotion to duty. During the attack of the New Zealand Division east of St Julien on 4/10/1917 Sergeant Gunn laid and maintained a telephone line from Brigade Headquarters, to Forward Company Headquarters. It was through this line that artillery were quickly informed of counter-attacks by forward Company Commanders. He has previously done good work and in this occasion displayed great gallantry as the ground was continually being swept by machine-gun fire and snipers' bullets.'
