Sapper Alan Leslie McALLEY (V751199) (deceased), The Corps of Royal New Zealand Engineers, 1st Field Squadron Sappers' Brigade, Papakura Camp.

For services on 30 July 1985 when he went to the assistance of two women whose car had struck a concrete median wall, overturned and burst into flames on the Southern Motorway near Mount Wellington, Auckland. He directed two colleagues to play a fire extinguisher onto the burning car and with total disregard to his own safety proceeded to successfully rescue one of the trapped women. The second woman was rescued by other motorists. His initiative at the scene of the accident was responsible for saving the lives of the two women. (Sapper McAlley was himself killed in a motor vehicle accident on 2 June 1987.)

Wayne Michael HUNT, Traffic Officer, Ministry of Transport, Tokoroa.

On 8 July 1986, Traffic Officer Hunt, while off duty, went to the assistance of an English family, touring New Zealand, whose campervan had a puncture on State Highway One near Tokoroa. While the tyre was being changed by Traffic Officer Hunt, the family's 7-year-old daughter, who had a hearing problem, wandered onto the highway and into the path of two heavy motor vehicles approaching from opposite directions. Prevented from running straight across the road by one of the oncoming trucks, Traffic Officer Hunt ran onto the road and grabbed the child, turned around and ran back to the campervan. The second truck passed perilously close to the campervan and Traffic Officer Hunt had to shield the child with his body as he clung to the wheel-arch of the van to avoid being blown over by the wind pressure created by the passing vehicle. Traffic Officer Hunt's prompt action saved the life of the child.

Private Dan Harry EMERSON (N53533), Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.

On 13 July 1986, a group of soldiers from D Company 2/1 RNZIR were swimming off a reef opposite Rarotonga Airport in the Cook Islands. One of the soldiers was caught by a strong offshore current and was being carried further out to sea. Private Emerson, who was standing on the reef, realised the soldier's predicament and immediately swam out to assist him. He kept the soldier afloat and then, swimming against the current and swells for over 15 minutes, assisted him to safety of the shore.

THE QUEEN'S COMMENDATION FOR VALUABLE SERVICE IN THE AIR

Derek Walter LOWE, of Murupara.

On 20 October 1984 Mr Lowe, a commercial pilot, while acting as a radio operator on a Cessna 206, intercepted a mayday call from the pilot of another aircraft which had gone into a spin while in cloud over the Taupo area. Mr Lowe slowly but authoritatively transmitted the spin recovery procedure to the pilot in distress, enabling the pilot to recover from the perilous situation and thereby saving the lives of the pilot and the two passengers.
