Tuhia tētahi tohutoro mō tēnei wāhanga - I haere a McNiece ki te mahi i ngā peke whawhai e whā i te wā o te pakanga, ko te tuatahi hei wāhanga o te whakaekenga o Normandy i te tau 1944. I taua tau ano ka peke ia hei wāhanga o Operation Market Garden
i roto i te Netherlands, i whakaatuhia i roto i te pukapuka (me te kiriata i muri mai), "A Bridge Too Far", me te Siege o Bastogne, he waahanga o te Pakanga nui o te Bulge. I a ia e whawhai ana i te Netherlands, i whakatairangahia ia hei kaitiaki o te roopu whakangaromanga. I tono ia mo te whakangungu kaiwhaiwhai, e whakaaro ana ka noho ia i te toenga o te whakangungu pakanga i Ingarangi, engari i karangahia tana tokotoko kaiwhaiwhai ki te peke ki Bastogne hei arahi i nga maturuturunga taonga. Ko tana peke whakamutunga i te tau 1945, tata ki Prüm i Tiamana. Hei tohu i tana kaha rangatira, i mutu ia i te pakanga hei kaitiaki tuatahi mo te Kamupene Matua, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. I tukuna ia mai i te ope taua i te Hui-tanguru 1946.
