Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tiimata o te whakaekenga i te 6 o Pipiri 1944 kaore a Bols i uru tika, i tiakina ki te Tari Pakanga hei rangatira kaimahi, engari, i te timatanga o Hurae, i whakawhiwhia ia ki te rangatira o te 185th Infantry Brigade, tetahi waahanga o te 3rd Infantry Division i raro i a Major General Lashmer "Bolo" Whistler. I arahina e ia te piritiata i nga waahanga whakamutunga o te Pakanga mo Caen, i reira i kaha ai te whawhai i te Operation Charnwood, Operation Goodwood, me te Operation Bluecoat, a muri ake i te pakanga o te Moana-a-Kiwa.
Ka anga whakamua te hunga i uru mai i Paris ki te Rhine. I tohua ia hei hoa o te Tohu Ratonga Motuhake (DSO) mo tana whakahau i te piriti i te Pakanga o Overloon me te whakaoranga o Overloon me Venray i te Netherlands; ko te taunakitanga mo te whakawhiwhinga o te DSO e whakahua motuhake ana i te whakatutukitanga o te piriti ki te akiaki i te Awa Breek ahakoa te kaha o te aukati, te huarere kino me te koretake o nga taputapu whakaeke. I whakaputaina te tohu i te 1 o Poutu-te-rangi 1945.
