Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I whai wāhi te puāwaitanga ki ngā mahi i Tunisia i te mutunga o te tau 1942 ki te marama o Mei 1943, i mate nui ai. I whai wāhi te poari me te piriti ki te Operation Fustian, i te wā i whakaekehia ai e nga Allies a Sicily
I whiua hoki, i mate kinotia, ā, i whakahokia ki Ingarangi i te mutunga o te tau 1943 hei whakangungu, hei whakarite hoki mō te whakaekenga o Wīwī. Kaore i whakamahia te patapata i te whakaekenga tuatahi i te 6 o Pipiri 1944, D-Day, engari i puritia ki te UK hei rahui mena ka raru tetahi o nga takutai whakaekenga e rima ka hiahia tautoko. Kāore i hiahiatia te mahere. I te wa o te whawhai i Normandy he maha nga mahere ki te tuku i te 1st Airborne i hangaia, kaore tetahi i whai hua. I te mutunga, i te marama o Hepetema 1944, ka heke te peihana ki Arnhem i te Netherlands me te toenga o te 1st Airborne Division, hei waahanga o te Operation Market Garden, i reira i tino mate ai ratou, kaore hoki i kite i te pakanga mo te toenga o te pakanga.
