£140-£180 Thomas Nicholson was born at Castleford, York. He was wounded at Paardeberg on 18 February 1900.
After the action at Klip Kraal Drift on the 16th, two other drifts were subsequently similarly secured, and Cronje and his men were brought to bay at Paardeberg. Here the Boers entrenched themselves strongly on the river banks, with the British surrounding them on all sides. Such was the position on the 18 February, when Cronje's position was attacked. To get at the Boer marksmen, who lay hidden among the bush-fringed banks of the river, it was necessary to advance across an open plain without cover for about 1,000 yards in the face of a most destructive fire. In their gallant charge on this occasion the West Ridings lost 3 officers and 126 N.C.O. and men in killed and wounded.
