I have never seen this. Here, 'Little Pattie' (Pattie Amphlette) , pretty much, speaks as a Soldier that's experienced Combat. Until I die, I will ever stand in awe of Her. She is all that embodies Australian.👋.
Watched 'Danger Close' and went looking for this girl. after countless videos of 'Surfer Boy' I found this remarkable lady. Such a tiny person, yet has a huge personality.
Came here after watching Danger Close : Long Tan movie
@Kyrie Alberto Thank you mate
Me too
Lol
dear Little Patti.
It was not a jeep load of soldiers that "kidnapped?" Col. It was a very good mate of mine and yours truly. We, and I think Col,had a really good time. We really had to back off on you for obvious reasons, you were too gorgeous. It was really a great pity that it was Long Tan Day.
Nothing like a good Liberation, hope the rumours are true that Col could hold his own with the Tinnies.
Thanks for your service Vincent
Good on ya mate
You served you country and did us proud.
I'm glad you left Little Pattie alone.
She's awesome
Your words are TOTALLY important regarding what ACTUALLY happened here, they snuff out every other word from speculative, uninformed sources!. Well done!!.👋.
Good on you Pattie--different times, different opinions--you dont have to excuse yourself
And the Americans almost straight away gave recognition to the men , But The Australian Government took 45 years what a Bloody disgrace , the government sent these boys there and then doesn’t give a crap the oldest boys were 2x22 year olds all the rest were 19 - 21 that didn’t make it through the battle . Honourable politicians my ass , these blokes went from innocent boys too bloody honourable men in about 2 seconds flat , medals on them mean nothing if as Aussies we don’t remember the facts what these true bloody hero’s did and sacrificed even the ones that came home didn’t come back as a whole part of them will always remain on that battlefield, And we shall never forget you brave honourable men , ever !!! Lest we forget
They distinguished themselves and Australia.
100% Agree with you. Disgraceful the way these brave men were treated by the Government.
Well I'm certainly proud of all our service men in all the conflicts punching above our weight
Is the entire interview available anywhere?
Little Pattie never stopped being gorgeous.
Always love Little Pattie
Aussies are great, were and still are. 🥂🍻🎉Australia👏👏
Only problem is the anti firearm legislation
They can’t have guns there?
@@bighulkingwar_machine1123 We can, but we need a licence and there are strict restrictions that apply.
hey ... dont forget our cousins, the kiwis saved many lifes and took them. with great artillery cover.
@@trevordonohoe3712we give them shit like brother's would but when it comes down to it they're just like us they've just got the speech impediment that's all
Little Pattie is the stage name of Patricia Amphlett and she is definitely not Pattie Newton. Little Pattie is the cousin of Chrissie (Christina) Amphlett lead singer of Australian band The Divinyls.
Martin Walsh Red Dune Films didn't know that ! amazing fact i can see it now
I knew this also, and you can definitely see the family resemblance in the face.
Peter Badcoe. Keith Payne. Ray Simpson. Kevin Wheatley. Remember the names, and earn their legacy.
