Out of a raiding party estimated at about 90, six of the enemy managed to make an entrance. The remainder of them being driven back by a Lewis gunfire and bombs. The men of the 2nd Otago Batt. holding the line displayed the greatest gallantry, endurance and devotion to duty in sticking to their posts under the severe bombardment and driving the enemy back. On the extreme left a Lewis gun detachment consisting of 5 men suffered greatly. Out of the 5 men, three were killed and one wounded by a Minewefer which exploded close to the gun, the remaining man, Pte L.R. Dickinson, stuck to his gun throughout, and was instrumental in driving the enemy back. He continued firing until his magazines had run out showing the greatest devotion and the utmost disregard of danger.'
