These Kiwi patches are not embroidered but rather screen-printed. In 1998-99, a Troop of New Zealand Gunners were posted to the Royal Horse Artillery in Bosnia. They had no form of NZ identification so one of the Gunners designed this badge and it was widely worn In-country by the Kiwis.

This Unit was the first ever New Zealand "Teeth Arms" Unit to serve in a war zone under the Command of a female Officer. Her name was Lieutenant Hayley Jane MAY (H996597), RNZA, MNZM.
