Default Not a badge but a Cravat

hi all
been doing some research and have been amassed that a simple cravat would generate my interest.
There seems to be a bit of a history with NZ troops wearing cravats and would be interested to hear more about this.
the attached pic and link is for the combined units who served with the Australians in Vietnam.
These black scarves (cravats) were worn by soldiers of Victor 1 Company and Victor 2 Company RNZIR. They featured a small kiwi motif and were used as a formal dress item and on operations to distinguish both Victor companies from the Australian troops they served with.
looking forward to hearing any more information on these.
regards
bc
