IanAnder - can you tell us their regiments? At least one of them could be Rifle Brigade from the Service Numbers??

LG 14-11-1916

9260 Sjt. T. Humm, R. Highrs.

For conspicuous gallantry in action. He was in charge of stretcher-bearers, and displayed an utter contempt of danger when tending the wounded, often under heavy fire.

LG 15-4-1916

3/2282 Private P. Garland, 2nd Battalion, Royal Highlanders.

For conspicuous gallantry. Lance-Corporal Robertson and Private Garland charged a machine gun in action, shot the gunners and put the gun out of action before they retired.

LG 14-11-1916

S/10012 Pte. R. Cowper, R. Highrs.

For conspicuous gallantry in action. He tended wounded under very heavy fire, displaying great gallantry and determination.

LG 29-8-1917

781 Cpl. R. Hutchison, R. Highrs.

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. Seeing a wounded Sepoy lying out in the open in " No Man's Land," some thirty yards from our front line, he climbed over the parapet and brought him in over perfectly bare ground, thus saving the man's life.

I've found a previous mention of Humm;

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 25 AUGUST, 1915

Medal of St. George, 4th Class

9260 Lance-Corporal Thomas Humm, 2nd

Battalion, Royal Highlanders.

And the one you're looking for;

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 14 NOVEMBER, 1916. 11095

9260 Sjt. T. Humm, R. Highrs.

For conspicuous gallantry in action. Pie

was in charge of stretcher-bearers, and displayed

an utter contempt of danger when

tending the wounded, often under heavy fire.

EDIT: Too slow
