by all accounts the chap is still in the sas, the reason why his name was released was that a vc is a rather special award and it would have been hard to "keep it quiet"
"maori battalion march to victory, maori battalion staunch and true,
maori battalion march to victory, take the honour of the people with you,
and we'll march march march to the enemy, and we'll fight right to the end,
for god, for king, and for country, ake ake kia kaha
