Honours and Awards
His Excellency The Governor-General has announced that
The Queen has been graciously pleased to approve the award
of The Queen's Gallantry Medal (Q.G.M.) to the under-
mentioned:
Kenneth Trevor PENNIALL, of Auckland.
David Alexander Jethro HADLEY, of Auckland.
On 4 November 1976, an armed man robbed the National
Bank of New Zealand Ltd., at East Tamaki, Auckland.
At the time Mr Penni all was a customer in the Bank and
when the offender made off Mr Penni all followed in his
utility vehicle accompanied by Mr Hadley, who had been
in a near-by shop. They followed the offender for some
distance and at Pakuranga they found him sitting on his
motor-cycle in a parking area. The offender attempted to
flee but was foiled by Mr Penni all driving into the motor-
cycle and knocking it to the ground. Mr Hadley then alighted
and tackled the offender.
At this stage the offender produced the loaded sawn-off
shotgun used in the hold-up and threatened to shoot Mr
Hadley. This did not deter Mr Hadley who threw himself at
the offender, deflecting the weapon in the process. Mr
Penni all joined in the scuffle and together they were able
to overpower the offender and hold him until the Police and
other people arrived at the scene.
Both Mr Penni all and Mr Hadley were in danger of death
or injury at the hands of the offender. The courage they
displayed resulted in a dangerous armed offender being
apprehended and $14,000 recovered in a matter of minutes
following the offence.
His Excellency The Governor-General has announced the
following awards:
The Queen's Commendation for Brave Conduct
Constable Douglas Robert SMITH (3403), New Zealand
Police, of Taupo
for services leading to the arrest of a 17-year-old youth
who was in possession of a .303 rifle which he had twice
fired with serious intentions of causing injury if not death
to the persons present. The incident occurred at Taupo on
13 February 1977.
Constable Miles Hearn PAIGNTON (3986), New Zealand
Police, of Rotorua.
Constable Paignton is a Police dog handler stationed at
Rotorua. On the night of 2 September 1977 when attempting
to apprehend an offender, he became separated from his dog
and in an ensuing violent fight was severely injured. The
offender, with assistance from some patrons from a nearby
hotel, was able to make his escape and was not recaptured
until the following day.
The Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air
Russell Godfrey GUTSCHLAG, of Nelson. Pilot, Helicopters

the West Coast of the South Island on 4 January 1977.
Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of December 1977.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
