hi all
I have seen the patch on the right but have never seen the patch on the left that includes New Zealand.
can only guess was worn by a kiwi in the Australian red cross field force.
does anyone know any other information on these?
I think worn in Vietnam. can find some info on Australian red cross in Vietnam but not with an NZ connection.
thanks in advance

Worn by the New Zealand Red Cross Field Force Ladies working at the Australian Field Hospital and in the field providing welfare services to the New Zealand troops in South Vietnam, The troops loved them and they still hold regular reunions.

Great patches, had not seen or heard of this group before. The Vietnam link makes it all the more interesting.

awesome
thanks RNeil
I have never seen them before. are they common or desirable items in NZ?
the red cross association doesn't really make them military as such however they did serve in a war zone nursing and caring for our troops.
Im very pleased with them
