Exercise Ben Cat will be sometime in September to coincide with the KIA of Al Don and Jock White 1965. As details come to hand I will post them. I, and may others, attended last year and 16 Fd Regt put on a show that could compare with Ben Hur.
Greetings!
The RNZA Association will be laying a wreath at the Wellington City
Citizens Service of Commemoration and Wreath Laying at the Cenotaph,

We would like to invite all serving and former Gunners to attend this
Hi,
I have a photograph titled 82 Heavy Batterty NZA then it says 11 Heavy Regt NZA dated 30 Aug 1944. However I cant find out anything as NONE of the listings have the 82 Heavy Battery with the 11 Heavy Regiment so not sure what I actually have a photo of? Can you help thanks
I have spoken to Rod today, he is as well as can be expected after suffering his stroke in Sri Lanka. He said at least he can talk and can walk. Phone number is 092983842 and email rgbcgb@xtra.co.nz .
Yesterday, I represented the Hamilton RSA at the funeral of Michael Terence MOORE who served in the British Army during WWII - 1837097 Sgt 23rd RATR and in the New Zealand Army 36157 Sgt 4th Mdm Regt RNZA. 93 year-old Mike redeployed to the gun-line above on 1st April 2012.
Dudley Young is looking for assistance to identify the gunner. On the left is Junior Manihera.
Greetings All,
Is there anyone out there, Vietnam Vet., who is planning to travel to Vietnam for the ANZAC Day Service at Long Tan ? This info is required on the chance that there could be a meeting of Vets and crew from the Te MANA, which will be in Ho Chi Minh City for ANZAC Day.
16 Fd Regt are planning a Regimental Memorial between RHQ and the Regt parade ground. The Memorial will list those KIA and died whilst on active service for both Korea and Vietnam, and any other active service/warlike operations.

Ever wondered what is in the hidden tunnels in North Head? What happened to the original Boeing aeroplanes? What was the “Kaskowiski”? Who was “Ali Barber”?
