He eventually moved to Te Kuiti where, owing to the lack of transfer papers, he made out a second set and became a member of No 1 Troop,  of 'O' Squadron on the 27th of June 1951

He was promoted to Sergeant Major in 1961, holding that rank until 1964, proving himself a very worthy and efficient officer
