Has a photo also as seen in item pictures. On the Seigfreid line, after relieving the 50th Battalion on 23rd February. (Siegfried line known to Aussies as the Hindenburg line). On the night of the 24th February, although flares had been fired from the German held Bayonet trench, patrols pushed out 700 yards and found the trench to be deserted. Once the trench had been occupied, the battalion signallers ran a line out to Bayonet trench, whereupon the the patrols advanced towards Barley Trench and Luisenof Farm. The patrol that had to carry out a reconnaissance of Bayonet and Pork Trenches on the night of 24th February encountered thick enemy wire. Corporal Frank Dwyer found a Sally port through the wire and entered the enemy trench. The enemy fired flares which assisted Dwyer and his patrol to occupy the trench. Later on at Bailey Trench, Dwyer's section was first into the entrance and when fired upon by an enemy strong post, Dwyer led his man in a courageous attack which quickly captured the enemy post.
