It was 40 years ago today I left on my first asignment for Red Cross. We spent some days in Singapore getting to know the Singapore Red Cross, led by Secretary General Nancy Chong. This was where we had our logistics base for an IDP programme in Binh Dinh province.
The stamp in my passport shows at the top right corner, we arrived in Vietnam on 30 January, 1971.
The passport also shows a younger man. bright-eyed, off to see the world.
Here is the 1971 New Zealand Red Cross Refugee Welfare team. From left, Simon Evans, Bob McKerrow, Adrian Lattimore and Peter Barnes. Note the uniforms ! Should we bring them back ?
