Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I tukuna ia ki Wīwī i te tau 1918 ā, i whawhai ia i ngā pakanga katoa i uru ai te 5th Marines, mai i Belleau Wood
ki te whakawhiti i te awa o Meuse. I a ia e haere ana i te huarahi, ka whiwhi ia i te komihana hei tuarua tuarua, me te Tohu Whakahonore me te wha o nga korero a te Silver Star. Mai i te French, i reira ko te Légion d'honneur, te Médaille militaire (te tohu tuatahi o tenei whakapaipai rongonui ki te rangatira Marine) me te Croix de guerre 1914<unk>18 me nga papa e rua me te whetu hiriwa kotahi. I whakawhiwhia e Itari ki a ia te Croce al Merito di Guerra, i te wa i whakawhiwhia a Yugoslavia ki te Cross o te Kaihauturu o te Royal Order o te Karauna o Yugoslavia.
