Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I riro i a ia te mana o te 14th Infantry division ka whawhai ia i te Pakanga o Mulhouse i waenganui o Akuhata 1914. I whakawhitihia tana wehenga ki te Somme i reira i uru ai ia ki te Pakanga o Proyart-Vauvillers, te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Marne me te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Aisne. Mo tana mahi tino pai, i whakatairangahia ia hei rangatira mo te VII Army Corps. I te 13 o Poutu-te-rangi 1915, i te taha o General Michel-Joseph Maunoury, i whara kinotia ia e tetahi kaipatu Tiamana, engari iti iho i te marama i muri mai, ka riro ia i a ia te rangatira o tana ope taua, i whawhai ai ia i te
Te Pakanga Tuarua o Champagne.
