Pte Tuhi was medical orderly during the attack of his platoon to establish a bridgehead across the river Baldona on 12 October 1944. Early in the attack the platoon was pinned down by heavy mortar and machine-gun fire and the sergeant wounded. Pte. Tuhi, in spite of the concentrated fire, went forward to the aid of the wounded sergeant and commenced dressing his wounds. Pte. Tuhi was himself badly wounded in the arm but he completed the dressing and, still under mortar and machine-gun fire, he lifted the sergeant and carried him back to safety. For the rest of the attack, in spite of his own suffering, Pte. Tuhi continued to carry on his duties, his courage and devotion to duty being of the very highest order.

- Private T. H. Tuhi, MM; Puha, Te Karaka; born NZ 6 Dec 1912; labourer; twice wounded. (Source: Cody, J.F. 28 Maori Battalion. p.426.)
'The 23rd Battalion tried to move to the next objective, the Scolo Rigossa, but was halted by heavy fire, and for some hours both our and the enemy's artillery were in full action, the Germans ‘stonking’ Gatteo and our guns Sant' Angelo and each dealing according to his lights with the Rio Baldona area. Fifth Brigade started again about 3 p.m. for the Scolo Rigossa, this time with more success, although C Company on the open flank had initial difficulty with a strongpoint. Here another MM was won by Private T. H. Tuhi, company medical orderly, who attended the wounded under fire and was himself wounded.
There was no further opposition and the battalion had settled into casas near the Scolo Rigossa by 4 p.m., with the enemy FDLs about 200 yards beyond it. Sant' Angelo was now becoming very much of a preoccupation both with Colonel Young and Brigadier Burrows. The support tanks were roadbound and could not pass that enemy strongpoint to assist the Maoris, while the Canadian unit was similarly embarrassed. No further move was made by 5 Brigade that day; A Company sent a patrol towards Sant' Angelo to test its strength but the reception it was accorded was quite convincing; an engineer who went with the patrol reported that the road was thick with mines. Private T. H. Tuhi, MM; Puha, Te Karaka; born NZ 6 Dec 1912; labourer; twice wounded.
