FOR BRAVERY -
ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY AWARDS:
A BRAVE YOUNG MAN. Case of Benjamin
Trumper (19 years), for rescuing J. Brown (38 years) from accident at
Timaru on 20th March, 1912. The official report mentioned that as the
second express, bound, for Christchurch, was coming into Timaru Station a
man, who appeared to be under the influence of liquor, stepped off the
platform on to the main line, and, if it, had not been for the prompt
manner in which Porter Trumper jumped on to the main line, regardless of
his own life and pulled him clear off the incoming train, there would have
been a very serious accident, especially if the man had attempted to
struggle with Trumper. A bronze medal was awarded.
(The Royal Humane Society of New Zealand was established in
1898 and Medals are awarded in bronze, silver and gold, for acts of
bravery in saving or attempting to save a life)
