  This N.C.O. led his party to a point 50 yards down the C.T. beyond the enemy post which was being raided. He there established a block, engaging and beating off an enemy bombing party which attempted a counter attack.
  When the order to withdraw was given, Corpl. THOMAS did so in a skilful manner, being himself the last to leave the enemy trench.
  It was due to the N.C.O’s skilful leading that this party successfully performed their task.’
