Rifleman Waller acted as a stretcher-bearer. He worked continuously day and night under very heavy fire, tending and carrying back wounded. He was conspicuous for his courage and cheerfulness and devotion to duty." (London Gazette, 16 August 1917, p. 8430, Rec. No. 2411) Rifleman Henry T. Waller, third son of Mrs. J. H. Waller, nurse, of Te Kuiti, has been awarded the Military Medal for gallantry in the field. Rifleman Waller, who left New Zealand with the seventh reinforcements, was wounded on September 10. He took part in the Somme and Messines engagements. (from an article on Military Medal winners entitled, ‘Recipient Reported Wounded’, Auckland Weekly News, 4 October 1917, p. 19) AWMM
