I a ia anake e hikoi ana mai i te raki ki te takutai tonga o New Guinea whai muri i te whakaekenga a Hapani, i awhina ia ki te whakarite i nga hoia o Ahitereiria mo te pakanga Kokoda Track
He aha? I whakatairangahia ia hei rangatira mo te wa poto, a i whakawhiwhia ki a OBE i te 1943 mo ana mahi i te Pakanga o Buna<unk>Gona. I te tau 1943 i whakawhiti ia ki te Australian Imperial Force, a i te timatanga o te tau 1944 i whakawhiwhia ki a ia te kawenga mo te rohe o Lakekaum, i mua i te tango i te whakahaere o tetahi rohe nui ake i muri mai i te tau.
