During the battle for Cassino from 18-23 March 1944 Capt. D'Arcy displayed outstanding courage and bravery. As Regimental Medical Officer of the unit he volunteered to take up a forward position among the fighting troops and many times under heavy fire he attended to the wounded under trying conditions. It was directly due to his bravery under fire that many serious cases received prompt attention resulting in the saving of many lives. Not only wounded men his own unit but also men from three other units engaged in the fighting were given personal attention at his forward post, and the skill with which the wounded were dressed was the subject of the highest praise from the dressing stations to which they were subsequently sent. Capt. D'Arcy's example of coolness and bravery under fire, and his determination and thoroughness in the treatment of all wounded were an inspiration to the whole unit.

Kōrero taurongo
- Maj C. N. D'Arcy, MC, m.i.d.; Morrinsville; born Carterton, 6 Jun 1912; house surgeon, Waikato Hospital; RMO 28 Bn Aug 1942-Apr 1944. (Source: Cody, J.F. 28 Maori Battalion. p.256.)
'The RMO of 28 (Maori) Battalion, Captain C. N. D'Arcy, set up his RAP in the church cellar in Cassino on Route 6 as his battalion moved ahead. Here casualties from all units were collected and held during daylight, and appropriate resuscitation, including blood transfusions, administered and splints applied as required. The entrance to the cellar was down a sort of rabbit hole and was covered by a sniper. After dark, when evacuation was reasonably safe, stretcher-bearer parties from the battalions, augmented by ADS stretcher-bearers, carried the wounded from the RAP to a jeep point, a distance of 300 yards. Jeeps then conveyed casualties to the RAP of 19 Armoured Regiment, half a mile from Cassino, where the RMOs of 19 Regiment and 21, 23 and 26 Battalions combined and worked a roster of duties. In effect, they and their orderlies acted as a forward ADS. They had under their control a pool of stretcher-carrying jeeps from the various battalions situated a further half-mile down Route 6. Motor ambulance cars were used to evacuate the cases to the ADSs. From these latter stations the patients were passed on to 4 MDS.
During the battle from 18 to 23 March Captain D'Arcy attended to all the wounded reaching his RAP. Conditions were most trying, but the skill with which the wounded were dressed was the subject of the highest praise from the dressing stations. For his outstanding work D'Arcy was awarded the Military Cross.' (Source: Stout, T. Duncan M. New Zealand Medical Services in Middle East and Italy. p. 540.) AWMM
