Kōrero taurongo
- Papuni was involved in Operation Hermit Park in the Phuoc Tuy Province of Vietnam (25 June 1971). He did not recieve recogninition for the operation. Over 50 years later Australian Veteran Affairs redressed this situation by creating commemorative frames to recognise the three New Zealand soldiers who risked their lives for the Australians. AWMM
