I served with 161 in Vietnam Mar-Nov.1969.  I was posted to 1 Field Regt LAD RAEME and was then informally attached to 161 when required as Gun Tiffy for the Battery.  161 provided Fire Support for 9RAR and I was involved in most Fire Support Bases including FSB “Thrust” near the Long Hais. 
I was in NZ in the 70’s and recall meeting the BSM at an RSA in Takapuna in the 70’s.  The only other name I have is Alby Carr (everyone called him Truck)
I hope to be in NZ for Anzac Day 2016 and am looking to attend where they may be some 161 Veterans from the 1969 tour.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.
