| Private T. A. Jones Attacks And Disarms Singlehanded 102 Of The Enemy And Then Marches Them To The British Lines.
Private Thomas Alfred Jones, of the Cheshire Regiment, was with his company consolidating the defences, and, noticing an enemy sniper at 200 yards distance, he went out, and returned the snipers fire and killed him. He then saw two more of the enemy firing at him, although displaying a white flag. Both of them he also shot. On reaching the enemy trench he found several occupied dug outs, and single-handed disarmed 102 of the enemy, including three or four officers, and marched them back to the British lines though a heavy barrage. He was awarded the V.C. for his most conspicuous bravery. |
