Machine-Gunners Get Together

More than 300 members of the 27th New Zealand (Machine Gun) and Infantry Battalion Association attended the annual reunion at Nelson over Queen's Birthday weekend. A tremendous programme of events was completed without a hitch, and we have been informed that everyone, wives included, had a great time. (All pix by Peter Cooper Studio).
