Notes
From the Battalion's June 1944 diary: "Received message from CCS that Capt Ornberg, OC B Coy, had died of wounds he had received on the 28May 44, he was rushed to a head specialist at Naples but failed to respond to treatment. Battalion thus loses a very capable and most popular Officer." - Archives New Zealand – Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga
