Talk:Bernard Gordon (soldier)

Medal
His medal is to be auctioned according to ABC news story. Note our record of the citation and the ABC news text do not match. ABC states ''Doug Formby of the RSL says Lance Corporal Gordon seized a machine gun post and an entire trench, capturing 40 enemy soldiers, all on his own. "He then single-handedly went to the next set of trenches and he captured a further 22 prisoners and three machine guns," he said.'' --Golden Wattle talk 19:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Related to James Gordon?
John Laffin on page 6 of Forever Forward, the 2/31st Battalion history, seems to indicate that Bernard Gordon was related to James Heather Gordon, another VC recipient. He only infers this, however, so I am not certain of this. The exact quote is: "...[Mrs Gordon] had a link with the 2/31st Battalion, being the aunt of Jim Gordon, VC. She was...the widow of Bernard Gordon, VC, MM, of the 41st Battalion, first AIF." Can anyone confirm, or deny? — AustralianRupert (talk) 11:20, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
