Return to.. World War 1 World War 2 Vietnam - RNZNC - & Civilians |
In March 1967 the New Zealand Government increased its contribution to the operations in Vietnam and sent V Company, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment and a medical unit. The nurses who took part in this campaign were employed at 1st Australian Field Hospital in Vung Tau, South Vietnam and their presence was a great morale booster for the New Zealand troops. Captain Daphne Shaw was awarded the ARRC (Royal Red Cross 2nd Class) for her services in Vietnam. A New Zealand (civil) Surgical Team worked at the Provincial Hospital at Qui Nhon, South Vietnam from 1965 and had a number of Territorial Force nurses among their staff. One of them, Lesley Cowper died in Vietnam on 2 May 1966. The first roll is for the nurses of the Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps (RNZNC) who served in Vietnam between 1967 - 1971. The roll for the RNZNC TF nurses who served with the civlian New Zealand Surgical Team is included for historical purposes. |
