North Canterbury soldier awarded for services 'exceeding expectations'
North Cantabrian Joseph van Arendonk played a key role as part of an international peacekeeping force in the Sinai Peninsula in 2017-18.
Staff Sergeant van Arendonk was presented with a Chief of Defence Force Commendation by Chief of Defence Force Air Marshal Kevin Short at a ceremony in Wellington.
His citation noted he had a complex role as operations instructor of the Multinational Force and Observers, which oversees the terms of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, and had “exceeded all expectations for his rank and trade”.
Congratulations Staff Sergeant van Arendonk.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
32.2% Yes!
-
67.8% No thank you.
