Whakaotihia te rerenga kōrero e whai ake nei: I te wā o te whakaeke a te Tiamana i te puna o 1918,
Operation Michael, i whai wāhi nui te piriti o Melvill ki te pupuri me te whakaū i ngā rārangi i te rāngai o Aotearoa. I whakaarohia hoki mo tana kaiarahi kaha, i arahina hoki e ia te Rōpū o Aotearoa mai i te mutunga o Pipiri ki waenganui o Hurae 1918, i te wa e noho ana te rangatira rangatira, a Major General Andrew Russell i runga i te hararei mate. I roto i te Ra Tekau Ra, ko tana kaiarahi o te 1st Infantry Brigade i kite i a ia e takahi ana i te Raina Hindenburg me te hopu i te taone o Crevecoeur i te Pakanga o te Canal du Nord i te 28 o Hepetema. Mo tenei, me ana mahi o mua i te wa o te whakaekenga a Tiamana, i tohua ia hei hoa o te Order of the Bath i te 1919 King's Birthday Honours. I te mutunga o te pakanga, e whā nga wā i whakahua ai ia i roto i ngā karere. I mohio ano a Belgium ki ana takoha ki te pakanga; i tohua ia hei Kaitohutohu o te Ture o te Karauna me te whakawhiwhia ki te Croix de Guerre.
