Major Drew established an observation post in a dangerous location overlooking the Maslenicia Bridge, Croatia, in August 1993. His company was repeatedly shelled during a four-day period, even while building a bunker for protection, culminating in a barrage of over 200 shells within a radius of 250 metres during a two-hour period on the fourth day. While soldiers under his command moved to relative safety, Major Drew remained throughout, setting an example of leadership and calm resolve.
