A Brief History!
Vewee Tewee Green - Ironside Military

The Vui Tui, or vewee twee as it is sometimes spelt, has a curious history with the Australian military. It started life as a commercial photograph album sold in Vietnam in the mid 1960s with a set of plastic pockets to put photographic prints in. When Australian troops were deployed to the Vietnam War they started buying these little pocket sized albums and putting important operational documents in them so they could access them and view them in the field without worrying about them getting wet and damaged. The clear plastic pockets could be written on with China graph pencils allowing maps to be annotated or the same form used repeatedly and then erased once no longer needed. The term ‘vui tui’ is Vietnamese and means ‘happy joy’, officially they are referred to by the Australian Army as a “Data Holding Booklet”, although the colloquial term is used by pretty much everyone.
