CITATION for the AWARD of the ROYAL RED CROSS, 1st CLASS to Lieutenant Colonel OLIVE ADA KESTAL. RRC.

“Major Kestel arrived in New Guinea in September 1943 with 24 Australian Army Nursing Service personnel. During the ensuing period, the hospital was working to its capacity, and there were frequent enemy air raids in the near vicinity. She has at all times carried out her duties as matron with energy, tact and control. In consequence of Matron Kestel untiring devotion to duty, the work of nursing staff has beyond praise”.

"During the operations east of YPRES on 20th September 1917 Captain BURKE was in charge of the right support Company. Under heavy shelling, in the absence of the leading Company Commander who had been wounded, this officer, regardless of personal danger, reorganised the right flank of the Battalion. At a critical moment he reorganised men of another Battalion who were in rear and sent them forward to their objective and established a Strong Point in a sound tactical position under heavy fire, At all times he displayed sound judgment and good leadership."
