Awards list for New Zealand

Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct

For services on the morning of 22 April 1976 when the fully laden passenger bus he was driving went out of control down Bowen Street in the City of Wellington. He remained calm and showed initiative by directing the vehicle into a grass bank thereby averting serious injuries and possible loss of life not only to his passengers but to pedestrians and other road users. It is obvious that the safety of his passengers and others was foremost in his mind.
