"A party of two Officers and fifty-nine other ranks was employed, and it is significant that its captures of prisoners exactly equalled it's own numbers... They were supported by twenty five Lewis gunners and thirty seven stretcher bearers. The casualties of the raiders were slight, and the raid was recognized as one of the most successful of the war... The leading wave (Second-Lieut. Aveline) jumped the eastern arm of the salient on a front of about 40 yards... The raiding party had to pass through three rows of concertina barbed wire, 2.1/2 feet thick... The appreciation of it by the Commander-in-Chief is evidenced by the immediate grant to the Officers in charge of the raid: the D.S.O. to Burgess and M.C. to Aveline.".
