* Lieutenant Davies was the officer in charge
of the party detailed to recover.the bomb which fell in the vicinity of St.
Paul's Cathedral. So conscious was this officer of the imminent danger to the
Cathedral that regardless of personal risk he spared neither himself nor his
men in their efforts to locate the bomb. After unremitting effort, during
which all ranks knew that an explosion might occur at any moment, the bomb was
successfully extricated. In order to shield his men from further danger,
Lieutenant Davies himself drove the vehicle in which the bomb was removed and
personally carried out its disposal.

* For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when acting as forward
observing officer. Whilst reconnoitring for a suitable position from which to
observe, he captured, single-handed, thirteen of the enemy in a house,
threatening them with his revolver. He was accompanied by one unarmed
signaller only at the moment, and by his cool and determined action was able
to hand over his prisoners to the nearest infantry unit.
** For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty with his battery in a very
exposed position, when the enemy was attacking in echelon down slopes 800
yards away. Heavy fire was opened on. the battery, one detachment being wiped
out, and the gun put out of action, but this officer, by his courage and
coolness in sticking to it, enabled the battery to do great execution among
the massed enemy.

The son of a clergyman, John Downton came to
Queens' College (Cambridge) from St. John's School, Leatherhead, before
undertaking further religious studies at Lincoln Theological College, 1933.
However in 1937 he entered the probation service. In 1940 he was called up and
joined the Royal Norfolk Regiment. He was soon seconded
to help set up a new bat tle unit named the Highland Fieldcraft Training
Centre (HFTC). John's performance during the arduous and hazardous training was
impressive and he was promoted to company commander. In 1944 he was appointed to
the School of Infantry and posted to India where he joined a similar training
operation called Kitchener College. Kurt Hahn, who was moving Gordonstoun back
to Scotland in 1946 from its wartime residence in Wales, had heard about John's
HFTC experience and, after a meeting, invited him to come at once
to join the staff of the School. He thus began his teaching career in May
1947. He was an assistant housemaster at Meissner House until he became the
founding housemaster of Laverockbank House in 1949 and eventually took charge of
Hopeman Lodge in 1960. Though also called upon to teach some scripture and
chemistry, his main subject was mathematics which he taught with vigour and
alertness, reflecting his own enthusiasm for the subject, and imbuing his
students with confidence in themselves. He
created the School Combined Cadet Force unit. In 1976 he was given an OBE
for services with cadets. Hahn was less than enthusiastic about the school's
commitment to the CCF which was disbanded on Downton's retirement in 1976.
Remembered with affection by former colleagues and generations of pupils, an
exacting timekeeper at athletic events, John also founded the Gordonstoun
Concert Society and provided some wonderfully breezy outings of the sailing club
in Findhorn Bay. In 'retirement' he became a most distinguished and much-loved
member of the staff of Forres Academy for four years. He held passionately firm
to his religious beliefs throughout his life and was a member of Holy Trinity
Church, Elgin, delighting in organising the annual fund-raising walk along the
coastal paths of Moray. Invariably
courteous and charming, devoted to bringing out the best in his pupils
with kind words and encouragement, John is remembered as a very special teacher.
