Kōrero taurongo
- Held rank of Sergeant at the time he was awarded the DCM AWMM
- Within half an hour of opening the attack on hill 175, on Sunday, November 23, Sergeant Harry Redfearn Martin’s platoon commander was killed and he took over the command of the platoon in a Wellington battalion. He remained in command for the following eight days of the action. On the afternoon of November 23, when his platoon was infiladed by heavy machine-gun fire from the left, rear and right front and also from tanks, Sergeant Martin, by the skillful use of fire movement, succeeded in pushing home, a series of local counter-attacks and succeeded in neutralising the enemy opposition in a strong machine-gun position. His leadership, courage and self-sacrifice was an inspiration to the platoonPublic - Lorraine Mona - Researcher - 27 February 2024 - NOTED GALLANTRY
