“They were all famous and fantastic fellows.” — Peter Scott Quote

They were all famous and fantastic fellows.

The battalion, the whole battalion was affected by the two killed just within a week of being there, and I think that that pulled everybody up to make them realise that this was a very serious business.

I suppose I was very disappointed that I was injured during training for Korea. In fact, I had an argument with a grenade and it won, and consequently I was forced to come back to Australia for twelve months.

I don't think they knew very much about the war in Korea at all.

You'd go to a Pakistani party and the men and women would go in at the front door and the women would go to the right and the men would go to the left, and that was the last that we'd see of them until we were coming home.

Of the fellows least likely to be president, you'd have to vote Jack No. 1.

I never felt a feeling that I knew or could know to be unlike the feelings of other people. I never consciously thought, except after patterns that the world or my fellows set for me.

On the streets, hanging out with the fellows, there are things you learn that no book can teach you.

Sometimes I do my walkabouts, all the young fellows will come and call me 'hypebeast Ah Gong.'

One of the fellows called me 'Cyclone' but finally shortened it to 'Cy' and its been that ever since.
