17 Jun 1943 AWMM
This soldier was responsible for the saving of three lives during the attack of 26 March 1943 on Point 209. His company had been forced to ground by intense machine-gun fire leaving three wounded men in no-mans land completely exposed to enemy fire. Entirely on his own initiative and regardless of his own personal safety, Pte. Apihai calmly left the safety of his own trench on three occasions and each time he carried back a wounded man to safety, in the face of withering fire. His courage and actions were of the highest order. London Gazette, June 1943, p. 2762 New Zealand Gazette, September 1944, p. 1146 AWMM - War Medal 1939-1945 AWMM

E hangaia tonutia ana te Maumaharatanga Tuihono; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki. I ētahi wā, kāore anō kia whakaūhia ngā pūkete e ngā kaimahi o Te Whare Taonga, tēnā pea he hapa kei roto i ngā kōrero.
