Three New Zealand Army officers faced with widespread carnage after almost 30 rockets exploded at an Iraqi military camp have been recognised for their bravery to save lives of injured coalition soldiers.
Corporal Charles Munns has been awarded the Defence Meritorious Service Medal, and Corporal Jessica Healey-Render and Private Maddison Van Sitter have both received a Chief of Defence Force Commendation for their fast response in the deadly rocket attack on the Taji Military Camp last March.
