Mahuna enlisted in the B.S.A.P. in November 1934 and was awarded the War Medal 1939-45, in addition to his L.S. & G.C., the latter finally being approved in 1959 following earlier convictions on his service record. He was a popular member of the force, a lengthy obituary appearing in Mapolisa in November 1960 after his sudden death that September, at which a number of senior officers were in attendance; copied obituary and other details included.
