M.C. London Gazette 1.1.1917.
Bar to M.C. London Gazette 22.6.1918 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When in command of his Company on patrol work he gained touch with a superior number of the enemy. On observing an Officer lying on the ground wounded, he helped him back to the support line under heavy fire. He subsequently proceeded through the village, which was being heavily shelled, in order to guide two Platoons which were withdrawing. His gallant conduct and quick grasp of the situation enabled him to extricate his Company without loss from a difficult and dangerous position'.
Mention in Despatches London Gazette 6.12.1916.
Lieutenant-Colonel Raymond Percy Gilbert Ireland, M.C., originally entered the Salonika Theatre of War in November 1915, while serving as a Lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion, King's Royal Rifle Corps. He would appear to have remained in the same Battalion during his subsequent service in France. Ireland was recalled from the Reserve of Officers on the renewal of hostilities in 1939 and attained the rank of Acting Lieutenant-Colonel in his old Regiment in December 1941.
