I've checked the list of Victoria Cross holders, and there's nobody on there called "Gorsham".
The closest name match of a Lieutenant I could find was Lieutenant William Forshaw.
There's a photo of Forshaw attached below. If you freeze the film clip at 01:08, you can see that our man looks pretty much like the man in the photo, though of course there must be an element of doubt......
