ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY OF NSW BRONZE MEDAL, (1984), reverse inscribed, '(Awarded/To)/ George/Forrester (For Bravery)/29.4.1984'. Some rubbing on high points, otherwise extremely fine.
Awarded to George Forrester, 45, of Moree Road, Ashley, for rescuing two people from a fire at Moree. About 1 a.m. on 28th April, 1984, Mr. Forrester was alerted to a fire in a nearby house at Moree which was occupied by two elderly and feeble people. Mr. Forrester broke down the door of the house and ran through the flames and lifted an elderly man from his bed and carried him outside. Noticing an elderly woman in another room he called for her to follow him out which she was able to do. The two occupants were treated for shock and smoke inhalation and Mr. Forrester suffered from burns to his feet.
