1918 Private Thomas Dineson of the 42nd Battalion earned the Victoria Cross at Parvillers near Amiens. His exertions over ten hours resulted in the capture of more than 1.5 kilometres of stubbornly defended German trenches at Parvillers. As well as engaging in hand-to-hand fighting, Dinesen rushed forward alone five times to put hostile machine guns out of action, killing 12 of the enemy.
