Question: The Field Marshal that British Army officer James Hill served under during the Battle of France had received what metal in an earlier battle?

Field Marshal Sir Charles Yorke GCB (7 December 1790 – 20 November 1880) was a senior British Army officer.  He fought in many of the battles of the Peninsular War and of the Hundred Days, seeing action as an extra aide-de-camp to Major-General Frederick Adam, commander of the 3rd Light Brigade, at the Battle of Waterloo.  After that he became Deputy Commander of the British forces in South Africa during the latter stages of the Eighth Xhosa War.  He went on to be Military Secretary, ultimately earning promotion to field marshal for his competence in that role. <SEP> Field Marshal John Standish Surtees Prendergast Vereker, 6th Viscount Gort & Two Bars, (10 July 1886 – 31 March 1946) was a senior British Army officer.  During the 1930s he served as Chief of the Imperial General Staff (the professional head of the British Army).  As a young officer during the First World War he was decorated with the Victoria Cross for his actions during the Battle of the Canal du Nord.  He is most famous for commanding the British Expeditionary Force sent to France in the first year of the Second World War, which was evacuated from Dunkirk.  Gort later served as Governor of Gibraltar and Malta, and High Commissioner for Palestine and Transjordan. <SEP>  Born in Bath, Somerset, Hill was educated at Marlborough College and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst before joining the British Army in 1931 and being commissioned into the Royal Fusiliers.  He commanded a platoon for a short period, and was then attached to the command post of Field Marshal Lord Gort during the Battle of France in May 1940, where he oversaw the evacuation of Brussels as well as the beach at De Panne during the evacuation of Dunkirk.  After a brief period of time in the Irish Free State, he volunteered for parachute training and joined the 1st Parachute Battalion, and was its commanding officer when its parent formation, the 1st Parachute Brigade, was deployed to North Africa. Brigadier Stanley James Ledger Hill {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} & Two Bars, MC (14 March 1911 – 16 March 2006) was a British Army officer, who served as commander of the 3rd Parachute Brigade, part of the 6th Airborne Division, during World War II. <SEP> Field Marshal FitzRoy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (30 September 1788 – 28 June 1855), known before 1852 as Lord FitzRoy Somerset, was a British Army officer.  As a junior officer he served in the Peninsular War and the Hundred Days, latterly as military secretary to the Duke of Wellington.  He also took part in politics as Tory Member of Parliament for Truro before becoming Master-General of the Ordnance.  He became commander of the British troops sent to the Crimea in 1854: while his primary objective was to defend Constantinople he was ordered to besiege the Russian Port of Sevastopol.  After an early success at the Battle of Alma, a failure to deliver orders with sufficient clarity caused the fateful Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava.  Despite further success at the Battle of Inkerman, a piecemeal allied assault on Sevastopol in June 1855 was a complete failure.  Raglan died later that month from a mixture of dysentery and clinical depression.
