Both Mr Jones and Mr Mill were involved in the rescue operations following the eruption on Whakaari/White Island on 9th December 2019, and each exhibited great presence of mind and acts of extraordinary courage in the service of their fellow New Zealanders. ‘He toa taumata rau – bravery has many resting places’.
