Formed in 1950 to fight in the Korean War as part of 16 Field Regiment, 161 Battery is arguably the premier battery of post-World War 2 artillery in New Zealand. During the Vietnam War, the Battery received the South Vietnamese Presidential Unit Citation of The Cross of Gallantry With Palm Leaf and the US Presidential Unit Citation Award. Because of the major role played by the Battery, articles pertaining to it are scattered throughout this site.
