Corporal Postma and Master Corporal Tate were members of a team tasked with water resupply within Srebrenica, Bosnia-Hercegovina, on 12 April 1994, when the city was shelled by a mortar and rocket barrage. The team passed a site that had taken several direct hits, with many casualties. Despite the continuous and extreme danger, as rounds landed nearby, several trips were made to bring civilians to the nearest hospital. These actions in dangerous circumstances were in the finest spirit of the United Nation's mandate.
