Dedicated to : the memory of young Australian and New Zealand soldiers who served in the South Vietnam Theatre of War. Just ordinary blokes who stood shoulder to shoulder in the jungles and padi fields of Vietnam and whose richness of spirit and quiet courage in the face of considerable adversity and suffering inspired the writing of these poems.

John Moller joined the New Zealand Army at 16 years of age and at 21 was selected to undergo officer training in Australia. In 1968-69 Lieutenant Moller served as a platoon commander with Whiskey 2 Company in Vietnam as part of the 4 RAR/NZ and 6 RAR/NZ ANZAC infantry battalions of the 1st Australian Task Force based at Nui Dat in the Phuoc Tuy Province.
He served for about another eight years after Vietnam, a total of 17 years service to his country.
Since his retirement from the Army John has been a leading advocate of veterans rights, and has been the President of the Vietnam Veterans Association of New Zealand since its inception in the early 1980s.
His poetry is published in a number of anthologies, and in books about Vietnam. Read these and more of John’s writings on his website, “The Punji Pit”
