Personal reflections from the time of enlisting in the New Zealand Army to active service in an Infantry Company in South Vietnam. The documentary also includes vivid recollections of contacts with the enemy and stories from Infantrymen who were wounded in action and the long road back to recovery from the Dustoff in the contact area, the Medevac home to New Zealand, and hospitalisation over 12 months.

Epic doco ✊🏼♦️🇳🇿 Was RNZIR 97 - 07, served in both Battalions 1 & 2/1, we always looked up to you guys from the nam era, your experiences & teachings were never far from our learning, much respect, my mums cousin was in nam too but I only met him as a kid, & has since passed away, wish I got to know him better he always asked about me when I was in so I’m told, his name was Craig, ‘Onward’ 🙏

In 68/69, we had two Kiwi companys attached to our battalion. They were awsome soldiers.

As a Kiwi and a Maori living in the United States watching this video brings back thoughts of the NCOs who trained me when I joined the NZ Army in 1981. They taught us the fighting skills they used during their time in Vietnam. I will be watching this video again.

Amazing stories. They came before us and I could listen to their stories for days. I am a kiwi who served with the Aussie forces in Tarin Kowt Afghanistan in 2010.

My father served in Whiskey 1.Tours in Malaysia and 2 tours in Vietnam.Wounded in action while on point a head of the main group a tree stump saved his life stopping an rpg blast that knocked him out.I am forever grateful to the Grey Ghosts that fought back the enemy and rescued him.The funny part was that they gave him too much morphine and he died several times on the operating table. Lance Corporal William George Hugh Vietnam 42245 .Wounded in action, 2 August 1968 - shrapnel wounds to right leg, hip, and arm.

I did my CMF training at Waiouru & Burnham back in 1962, 63 did my 20 day follow up camps with the Medical Corp, then went to Australia & Papua New Guinea & my Little Malaya training worked well when I went wandering around PNG’s jungle. Like these guys loved my CMF training & the skills I obtained as a medic which have been used many times since then. ANZACS over all are a far better class of soldier than the Americans who thought their weaponry was superior, but forgot that the VC were fighting for their country.

The anti-war protesters were and remain a disgrace to New Zealand. I'm proud to have been trained by many of the Kiwi Vietnam vets, true professionals and extremely competent Soldiers.

@@willmalin3752 i live in Australia But i new the medic Patty Clark he was still serving in the 90s he was a sgt major at the time. Regular soldier in a territorial battalion. He was a quite and well respected man. He talk me to Napier hospital as we were doing some exercise in the bush at the back of Napier and my fingers got dislocated and they couldn't physically put them back in place so he took me to hospital. On our way we joke and laughed how i dislocated my fingers. But if you want to talk to vets you'll have to go to Rsa or Battalion carrison clubs you'll find alot of vets there. But we didn't talk about there time in Vietnam causes it wasn't a war that many people agreed with.But being a part time soldier we looked upto our soldiers no matter which conflict they were in.
