DSO: London Gazette, 8 March 1919. Citation: "On the night of 24/25th September 1918, he took command of a party of 100 men with orders to cut the Amman - Derra railway line north of Amman. He marched by night over roadless country, intersected by innumerable wadis, which made progress very difficult. On reaching the line he found an enemy party at work, but moving further south, he accomplished his object, removing a set of rails from the line, although large numbers of the enemy were continually moving along the road just east of the line."

John Henry Herrold – 1878 -1966
John Herrold was born in Calcutta in India, the son of John William Herrold and Helen von Bibra. He came to NZ in time to complete his education at Kings College in the years 1891-1894.
From 1905 until 1914 he was on the electoral roll as a farmer living in Waiuku.
In 1913 when he was a special constable, he gave evidence against 2 men who were in Court. One was charged with driving too close to the troops returning to the Domain and one for making insulting remarks. He enlisted when he was a single man aged 36 and was made a Captain. He was awarded a DSO for a night’s work leading 100 men when he was asked to immobilise a railway line near Amman. He was discharged in 1919 and in 1921 married Enid Holmes Dean.
