New Zealand servicemen and civilians relax inside the Kiwi Club, circa 1971. The soldiers second and third from left are Dvr Greg Hutton and Sgt Derek Cain from V Force HQ.
The Kiwi Club was an after-hours bar set up within the Free World Military Assistance Office compound in Saigon. Air-conditioned and equipped with a well-stocked fridge, the club was a popular place for socialising amongst New Zealand, Australian and American personnel based within the compound.
