  DSO citation: "While in command of 10th (Composite) Brigade at Galatas (Crete) on 21 and 25 May (1941), he showed a complete disregard of danger, an energetic aggressive spirit, and considerable tactical skill in organising counter-attacks, and repelling determined enemy attacks made under cover of severe enemy air attacks, and trench mortar and machinegun fire. Although suffering from loss of sleep and a sprained ankle, he showed quick appreciation and cool courage in meeting the determined enemy attacks at Galatas on 25 May, and when our lines were practically broken, was almost entirely responsible for checking the enemy advance and establishing a new line in rear. His work throughout was of the highest order." (NZ Gazette, 21 September 1944) DSO Bar citation: "Brigadier H.K. Kippenberger commanded 5 (NZ) Infantry Brigade throughout the battle of Egypt. At Minqar Qaim on 28 June 1942 he moved from unit to unit, at times under heavy enemy shelling, co-ordinating the successful defence of the Brigade position. On the night of 27/28 June, when troop carrying transport was, through enemy action, cut off from the Brigade, he immediately organised the remaining resources of the Brigade, extricating his troops. AWMM
