"On the night of 17 February 1944 during the attack on Cassino station, Pte. Hoani showed outstanding courage and devotion to duty. Early in the attack he personally liquidated a machine-gun post, rushing in and killing the three enemy gunners at short range with his Thompson sub-machine-gun. Later in the attack he killed two more enemy riflemen at close range. After the company had consolidated it's position, Pte. Hoani risked his life under heavy machine-gun fire carrying messages from his platoon commander to Company HQ. He displayed outstanding dash nd determination and was at all times an inspiration to the remainder of his platoon. (London Gazette 20/7/1944). The National Archives.
