He was wounded on July 29, 1918 resulting in the amputation of his left arm.
He was awarded the Military Medal for his services in the attack that led to the amputation of his arm. “During the night attack on night of 28th/29th July 1918, astride the BRAY-CORBIE Road, Sergeant McGovern exhibited great bravery and devotion to duty. Sergeant McGovern displayed splendid dash and initiative throughout the attack and rendered his company valuable assistance. His work with the platoon while getting into a difficult position for jumping off was excellently done and during the attack he displayed great powers of command, particularly in closing up a gap in the company lines and in dealing with a Bosche strong point which necessitated working partly in our own barrage. Sergeant McGovern, though severely wounded in the arm, continued to carry on for a time but finally had to give in owing to the extreme severity of the wound, which resulted in the loss of an arm. His splendid example and heroic conduct has become a by-word among the men under his command and is worthy of the highest praise and recognition.”

Pte McKenzie was killed in action on 20 July 1916 at Fromelles, France. After the war his grave could not be located and he was commemorated on the VC Corner Australian Cemetery Memorial, Fromelles. In 2008 a burial ground was located at Pheasant Wood, France containing the bodies of 250 British and Australian soldiers including Pte McKenzie. All of the remains were reburied in the newly created Fromelles (Pheasant Wood) Military Cemetery. At the time of the official dedication of the new cemetery on 19 July 2010, ninety-six of the Australians, including Pte Mckenzie, had been identified through a combination of anthropological, archaeological, historical and DNA information. Work is continuing on identifying the other remains relocated from the burial ground and buried in the new cemetery as unknown soldiers.
