GEORGE MEDAL
AWARDED TO NEW ZEALANDER MR P. B. MALING, GALLANT SERVICE DURING AIR RAID. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Mr P. B. Maling, son of Mr James Maling, of Cashmere, has been awarded the George Medal for conspicuous gallantry during an air raid. Mr Maling, who was a student in his final year at St Thomas’s Hospital, London, was one of a small band of volunteers who remained in the hospital after it had received three direct hits, in September last.
Though the building was evacuated, Mr Maling and his companions performed work of the greatest importance at the risk of their lives. Mr Maling is 28 years of age and was educated at Christ's College and Canterbury College. He was a geologist with the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and worked for a time in Tran. Five years ago he decided to become a doctor and entered St Thomas's as a student.
