 Funeral photos:


 

Sgt 3/c Roger BERGAMIN was Highly commended for his outstanding courage and devotion to duty at Canley Vale on 23 November, 1981, when in the company of Sergeant 1/c E.G. Woolaston, he confronted Abdel Rahman Dehen who pointed a loaded .22 calibre rifle, with which he had just shot and seriously wounded his wife, in his direction.

The offender complied with a demand to drop the weapon and the Sergeant rushed forward and was able, with the assistance of other Police, to handcuff and arrest him.

A later examination of the offender’s weapon revealed a live bullet had jammed in the breech.

Awarded the Commissioner’s Commendation

C.R. ABBOTT, Commissioner,  20 December 1982.

 

The above entry was recorded from Roger BERGAMIN’s Service Record.  I am unaware what ( if any ) Award or Commendation that Ned WOOLASTON may have received from this same incident.
