An official nominal roll was never maintained of personnel who served for New Zealand Defence Force during the Vietnam war. It was by chance a military officer intercepted pay books on their way to destruction. From those books the officer created an unofficial nominal roll listing those who served and with which sub-unit. Some names on the list are repeated within various sub-units where an individual served more than one tour of duty.
A count of all names determined that just over 3200 personnel actually served, given those with two or more tours of duty.
The purpose of this site is to list deceased New Zealand Defence Force personnel following their service in South Vietnam in order that a pattern of causation can be determined, such as deaths from cancers. The listing is on the basis of:
Service number
Last name
Initials
Age
Sub-unit
Reported cause of death [Causation]
Year of death
Other reported medical conditions
Post notice from below to advise us of a deceased New Zealand Vietnam veteran.
