Son of Reverend Arthur Kenneth and Myrtle Emma (née Graham) Herman of Wilmot, Nova Scotia. Brother of Myrtle R. Herman.
He enlisted in the Canadian Army Special Force in 1951 and was transferred to the 1st Battalion of the Royal 22nd Regiment on February 15, 1952. He left for Japan on March 28, 1952, and then for South Korea. A member of Company D, on August 19, 1952, during a skirmish with the Chinese on Hill 210, the Chinese launched an attack. Lieutenant Ramsey Withers, the battalion’s signals officer, and Lieutenant Herman were on their way to company headquarters when the Chinese began shelling. Lieutenant Herman quickly returned to his men, who were holding an outpost between the villages of Paujolgo and Kojanharai-Saemal. A 122-mm shell struck the position, killing him.
Lieutenant Herman is commemorated on the Nova Scotia Korea War Memorial with his fellow Nova Scotians who lost their lives in the Korean War. The Memorial is located at Pleasant and Parade Streets in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. It was unveiled and dedicated in a ceremony on August 16, 2003. His name is also engraved on the Memorial Arch at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario.
Commemorated on the Wall of Remembrance.
