Description
Victoria Barracks, NSW. 28 July 1966. Little Patti, 17, the youngest, and at 4ft 10in, the tiniest entertainer to visit troops in Borneo and South Vietnam, gets a steadying hand from Col Joye while being innoculated by a medical officer at Victoria Barracks. Little Patti (Patricia Amphlett) of East Lakes, NSW, along with Joye and his group, will make up the third Government sponsored entertainment group to make the overseas trip. Inoculations were part of preparations for the trip. The first all-Sydney group to be sent by the Australian Government, the entertainers will leave Sydney on 10 August and spend nine or ten days entertaining troops.
