Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I puta a Rawlley i te Indian Military Academy, ā, i te tau 1941 i tonoa ia ki te 9th Battalion, te 12th Frontier Force Regiment i te 15 o Mei. I te 1943, i neke te ope taua ki Burma ka kite i te mahi i roto i te Campaign Burma. I whakawhiwhia ki a ia te Cross Military i te Pakanga o Kohima
He aha? I whakahau ia i tana ope i te Pakanga o Imphal. I haere ia ki te Whare Wananga o nga Kaimahi, i Quetta i te 1945. Whai muri i te akoranga kaimahi mo te tau, i tukuna ia ki te 25th Infantry Division. Hei waahanga o te Operation Zipper, i kowhiria te wehenga mo te whakaekenga o British Malaya i roto i te mahi amphibious. Ahakoa i mutu nga pakanga, i haere tonu te mahi i whakaritea, a ko te 25th Division te roopu tuatahi ki te taunga ki Malaya, te noho ki te whakapaipai, Kuala Lumpur, ka whakaae ki te tuku o te ope taua Hapanihi. I whakahuahia a Rawlley i roto i nga karere mo te ratonga rongonui i British Malaya.
