Update on the South-East Asia 1950-2011 Review

The Medallic Recognition Joint Working Group has completed its additional archival research on naval service from 1950 to the 1970s.
One of the positive outcomes of the extra research has been the location of some of the instructions given to Royal New Zealand Navy Ships.
These documents will be important in the final decision-making process and we have now forwarded our findings to the Royal New Zealand Navy for comment.
Once they have fed back on the findings we will finalise this report along with the main report on service in South-East Asia will be submitted to the Minister of Defence for his consideration.
The Joint Working Group expects to present its final report to the Government before the end of 2013.
The Government’s decisions on the recommendations from the Joint Working Group will be widely publicised, including in the RSA Review and on the Breaking News page of the NZDF Medals website.
