Pat Hanna\'s 1930 recording of the iconic World War One\nsong Mademoiselle from Armentières<\/em> continued the tradition of adapting the\nwords of this famous song to reflect the different experiences of soldiers\nduring the war. Hanna himself served with the Otago Regiment from New Zealand.<\/p>

Recorded in Australia on the\nVocalion label, this version (with lyrics by Hanna), tells the story of an\nAustralian “Digger” who falls for the French mademoiselle, only to leave her\nheartbroken when he is killed at Bullecourt (1917) in Northern France. It was a\npopular number performed as part of Hanna’s “Diggers” vaudeville concert party\nwhich toured Australia and New Zealand for many years after the war.<\/p>"); $('.summaryWrap').removeClass('mi'); $('.summaryWrap').addClass('en'); $('.language a.maori').removeClass('active'); $('.language a.english').addClass('active'); $('.js-year').html("Year:"); $('.js-location').html("Location:"); $('.js-location-name').html('Australia'); }
