Honours and Awards

It has been suggested we have a “RNZN Communicators Honours List”, e.g. BEM, OBE, etc, on the RNZNCA website. The proposed list will not include “campaign medals”. To help compile a true and accurate record on ex-RNZN or serving personnel that have been honoured by the Queen/or King, the following information should be emailed to John Bullock who has offered to compile the list. John’s email is sinbadjb@xtra.co.nz.

(1) Year Awarded
(2) Name
(3) Rank/Rating
(4) Honour awarded
(5) Occasion, e.g. New Year, Queen’s Birthday, etc. and
(6) Strange as it may seem, the reason for your award if known.

Even if you don’t know the year but remember a communicator receiving an honour send in what information you do know and we will make every effort to confirm.
