John Gorman served in the Argile and Sutherland Highlanders and the Seaforth Highlanders. He was issued with Victory and British War Medals; the numbers refer to the medal rolls, looking up those may give the battalions he served with.

David J Gorman served in the 1/19th (County of London) Battalion (St.Pancras) of the London Regiment and transferred to the Royal Engineers. He entered France on 10/3/1915 as a private and was later promoted to corporal. He was issued with 1914/15 Star, Victory and British War Medals; the numbers refer to the medal rolls.

This one actually refers to Army Order 265/17 Paragraph 2Bi and the details of what it means are below, I've highlighted the relevant sections....

2. Under the amended conditions the badge will, subject in every case to the approval of the Army Council, be issued only to the individuals specified below, who have served with the military forces subsequent to the 4th August, 1914:

(a) Those who, having served as officers and being still of military age, have retired, resigned or relinquished their commissions:

(i) After service overseas in the armed Forces of the Crown, on account of disablement or ill-health caused otherwise than by misconduct,

(ii) After service at Home, and have been medically examined and finally discharged from liability to further military service under sub-section (5) of Section 1 of the Military Service (Review of Exception) Act, 1917, as permanently and totally disabled, otherwise than from misconduct.

(b.) Those who, having served as soldiers and being still of military age, have been discharged under the conditions set forth at (i) and (ii) in (a).

Hope this helps.
