    Three of the Australian infantry battalions that served in Vietnam were ANZAC units, incorporating companies of the Royal New Zealand Regiment. This book tells the story of one such unit: 6RAR/NZ (ANZAC) Battalion. “With ANZACs in Vietnam” features hundreds of colour and black-and-white photographs taken by Australian and New Zealand members of 6RAR/NZ during that unit’s 1969-70 tour of duty in South Vietnam. Most of the photos have been stored in private collections since that time, unseen by the public. Forty-one years on they have been assembled here to show today’s generation how Australian and New Zealand soldiers lived and fought during the most controversial war of recent times.
