Welcome..! Haere mai..! This official veterans website offers the story of a New Zealand rifle company sent to South Vietnam in November 1969 as part of the New Zealand armed forces contingent to fight alongside Australian and other Free World forces, three of the Company died on duty and 16 were wounded. Service and personal stories and photos of the Company, and family stories, are online. The website is offered as a resource for people researching the New Zealand involvement in the Vietnam war, as well as a means of maintaining links with W3 veterans and their families. To meet the latter goal the website offers email addresses of veterans & their next of kin, and welfare assistance where possible. Personal stories and photographs are still sought from the veterans and their families, and news of interest to Company members is always welcome, send contributions here.

"New Zealanders have written themselves into a special place in our history books, many of them for deeds of exceptional bravery and sacrifice, but most of them for simply giving their all in duty, in courage, and in dogged determination to fight for peace and freedom from tyranny."
