Whakaoti i te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, i whakahau a Coleman i te 4th Battalion, Welch Regiment mai i te 1941 ki te 1944 ka riro hei rangatira mo te 160th Infantry Brigade, te papa matua o tana roopu, i te mutunga o te 1943, i mua i te taenga mai o Brigadier Lashmer Whistler i te Hanuere 1944 ki te whakahau, me Coleman e hoki ana ki te whakahau i te 4th Welch. I te marama o Hune 1944 i whai mana a Coleman ki a Whistler i te rangatira o te piriti, i arahi i a ia puta noa i te pakanga i te raki-hauauru o Uropi mai i Normandy tata tonu ki nga rohe o Denmark ma te ara o Falaise, Antwerp,
Ko Nijmegen, ko's-Hertogenbosch, ko Wessem, ko Ardennes, ko Reichswald, ko Rhine, ko Weser, ko Hamburg. I whakawhiwhia ki a ia te Tohu Ratonga Tohu (DSO) i te 1945 me te Knights Dutch 4th Class of the Military Order of William i te 1947. Ka rite ki te tuhituhi a tona rangatira pirihimana i muri i tona matenga, ko te whakaute a nga tangata o te pirihimana ki a ia "i nui ake te koa me te makona ki a ia i nga mea katoa i whakatutukihia e ia i muri mai". He pono i tuhituhi ia i te tino mahana o nga whakatutukitanga o te 53rd (Welsh) Division Infantry, i hangaia e tana piritihana he waahanga, i roto i tana kupu whakataki ki te hitori o tana waahanga i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, i whakaputaina i te 1955, a ka rite ki ta tona kaituhi e whakaatu ana, he nui tana koha ki tenei korero.
