Description
Of the many RSAs in New Zealand towns and cities, Wellington's branch has been the most broadly influential because of its capital city location and because its establishment and development paralleled that of the national body. From earliest times until 1995 it shared premises and often staff with the New Zealand Returned Services Association and over the years has provided a high proportion of national presidents. Peter Cooke's history describes Wellington RSA's colourful beginnings and chronicles the individuals and events that shaped its personality.
