Thynne captured three prisoners; the remainder of the garrison retired precipitately. The final objective having been reached, he volunteered to take back the information to battalion headquarters.

His behaviour throughout was distinguished by brilliant gallantry.’ Annotated gazette states: ‘E. Forest of Nieppe, 28 June 1918.
