Notes Distinguished Service Order (DSO) (in case), WW1 Order conferred upon Major Clyde McGilp, 1st Battery, New Zealand Field Artillery, NZEF. Clyde McGilp, of Birkenhead Auckland, served with Field Artillery in Egypt, Gallipoli, and Western Europe. He received a recommendation for his Gallipoli service during Sept. - Dec.1915 .in particular for his very able handling of his battery which “almost enfiladed the whole of the Chunuk Bair position”. The Battery was also thanked by Brigadier-General Hobbs CDA, First Australian Division for their assistance in the attack on Lone Pine Ridge. Citation for DSO awarded in 1917 acknowledged his command of the Battery in the heavy fighting of Gallipoli. On 14 November 1918, four months after his discharge from active service, Clyde McGilp died of influenza while working at the Featherston Training Camp. Citation- London Gazette, 1st January 1917, page 29 Recommendation no 473 "This officer has done consistent and good work ever since the 1st Battery was formed. On many occasions like other B.C.s he has had to observe under heavy fire. Several times in Armentieres his battery was heavily shelled, and he acted with great coolness and decision. On many occasions his battery has had to cut wire at close ranges. He is an excellent B.C., and I consider it worthy of recognition. He commanded the Battery in the heavy fighting at Gallipoli."
