New Zealand bravery awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Zealand bravery awards are civil (non-military) decorations for bravery.
Since the end of WWII there have been constant moves towards an independent New Zealand honours system. This has resulted in a new system of New Zealand honours, military gallantry and civil bravery awards, and campaign medals.
