A Soldier's View



The Ideal Gift

The first Vietnam Campaign history of a New Zealand Infantry Company



"A Soldiers View of the Vietnam War - The Story of Victor 4"



Consisting of 335 pages and 232 photographs this premium hard cover A4 book will be treasured for years to come.


"It is rare that a military history is written from the perspective of the soldier, by the soldier. This book is one of those. It is written by the officers and men of Victor 4 Company, New Zealanders who served in the Vietnam War from 1969 - 1970 who tell about their experiences in combat in a faraway land. We have written the book not to celebrate war but to tell the next generation about what we experienced. It is right we should do this for our children and for our relatives and friends so that they may know what we did. It is a testament also to those seven comrades who gave their lives for their country. May they rest in peace for eternity".

Sir Wira Gardiner





"This book is a testament to the comradeship that comes from having served together under fire. The training and leadership demonstrated by your officers, NCOs and men will provide a wonderful source of encouragement and inspiration for today's young men and women".

Lt Gen Rhys Jones
Chief of Defence Force



It's Time to Tell
A poem by Pte W (Bulldog) Te Awa


40 years on
Our stories will now be told
Of leaving with pride
For the jungles of war
A fight for freedom we were told
And then returning in stealth
To the country we love
No welcoming mat
At any door
Even turned away
By those we thought would understand
2008 we marched again
With sorrow and pride
And heads held high
Fot those who never returned
And those who have passed on
We listen and weep as the speeches flow
That deep wound still hurts
One day it may heal
I say to you all
Tell your stories now
So those closest to you
Will understand
