[Captain, NZ Medical Corps] For conspicuous devotion to duty in the Gallipoli peninsula during operations from 6th to 9th August, 1915, when he worked day and night with unceasing zeal and without rest evacuating the wounded. His work was carried out under continuous fire, on one occasion the dressing station being heavily shelled for an hour, and many assistants and wounded being hit. Owing to Captain Finn’s efforts the wounded lying in the more exposed positions were got into a place of greater safety. His service file of 208 pages (spanning 3 wars & post war service) can be viewed via the NZ Auckland Cenotaph & NZ Archway sites.
