Sergeant N. L. McKnight, MM, m.i.d.; Invercargill; born Invercargill, 22 Dec 1912; contractor; twice wounded. (Source: Murphy, W.E. 2nd NZ Divisional Artillery. p.624.)

'The right section of A Troop M10s was deployed in San Casciano on the 29th and D Troop was also forward, but with three of its four M10s temporarily out of action. In San Michele the 6-pounder J3 of 33 Battery was stationed outside the church, having followed the infantry along a narrow and winding road in the pitch dark. German infantry, working their way back through the buildings of this vital hilltop village, made the position very hot and an SP gun out of sight of the anti-tankers shelled the company headquarters. In the end Sergeant McKnight, who stopped a bullet in the shoulder, had to disable his gun and join the surviving infantry at the last possible moment.'
