Great Orton

My father, Thomas James Armstrong, was living in Great Orton before he went to war in 1915 with the Border Regiment. He was awarded a gold Great Orton medal for his service. Does anyone know anymore information about him or his family or the story behind the medals? His father was James Armstrong, from Lanercost, & his mother Isabella Armstrong nee Storry/Story, from Thurstonfield.

Any information would be gratefully recieved.
