In April 1917, as an acting Captain and artillery observer on 'Pip ridge' during the Battle of Dorian, Herring was, for his "conspicious gallantry and devotion to duty" whilst under heavy shell fire, awarded the Military Cross. At Salonika on 24 October 1918, having been promoted to acting Major, Herring assumed command of 'B Battery, 99th Field Artillery Brigade', and as a battery commander he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order. In 1922 he joined the Australian Army as a legal staff officer in the part-time militia with the rank of captain, rising to the rank of colonel by 1939 and the start of World War II. In December 1940 he commanded the '6th Division Artillery' in the Western Desert Campaign, the Battle of Greece, and participated in the attack on Tobruk. In 1942 he commanded the land forces in the Kokoda Track campaign and in the following year directed operations in the Salamaua-Lae and Finisterre campaigns. Herring then went on to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, and the longest serving Lieutenant-Governor of Victoria (27 years). (Image1)
