Singapore headquarters

This bird's-eye view shows the New Zealand Defence Force headquarters in Singapore in 1975. A New Zealand infantry battalion was stationed in Singapore at the end of the Malayan Emergency in 1960 and remained there until it was recalled home in 1989 – the year the Berlin Wall came down.
