"I saw moments of incredible human courage from the Australian peace keepers. There was one moment where the Australian section was out, they'd gathered wounded and they came under fire from people within the refugee compound and it's terribly hard for any human being when bullets are fired at them not to try and take cover and protect themselves. There were tremendous courage and pride. I believe that courage is a thing of beauty like beautiful opera singing or ballet. It's something great in the human spirit and these soldiers proudly carried their wounded and didn't dodge and duck and drop the wounded to save their own lives. There was also a moment where Carol Vaughan Evans was told that we couldn't back to get the people who had been bandaged because the RPA were going to finish them off and a lot of heavy fire had started and we all looked to her and she made the decision to go back which took tremendous courage. It was one of the most courageous acts I've ever seen because she wasn't just risking her life, she was risking the lives of the people that were working under her. But you could tell that there wasn't even a fraction of a moment where she would have considered not going back for those wounded.."
