 Corporal Bill Apiata VC autograph |
FP011 BRAND NEW 8x12 inch high quality colour photograph signed by Corporal Bill Apiata VC, who was awarded his Victoria Cross for bravery in action whilst serving with the New Zealand SAS in Afghanistan. Coporal Apiate is the first recipient of the Victoria Cross for New Zealand which was established in 1999. Apiataís VC citation reads: "In total disregard of his own safety, Lance Corporal Apiata stood up and lifted his comrade bodily. He then carried him across the seventy metres of broken, rocky and fire swept ground, fully exposed in the glare of battle to heavy enemy fire and into the face of returning fire from the main Troop position. That neither he nor his colleague were hit is scarcely possible. Having delivered his wounded companion to relative shelter with the remainder of the patrol, Lance Corporal Apiata re-armed himself and rejoined the fight in counter-attack." Rare signature - £95
