    Biography

    Son of William Alfred GILDER of 7 Pitt Street, Sydney, NSW

    Military Cross

    'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in leading his company forward in an attack. Finding his left flank enfiladed he made a personal reconnaissance, and, though blown up on two occasions by shells, succeeded in organizing a party and closing the exposed flank.'
