Heinze
![]() |
It is difficult to record the story of a 'real life war hero' who has no military experience whatsoever. Many of the infamous fake warriors that are exposed on these pages have some service to embellish and in many cases years of service that is simply embellished to enhance a career, gain access to taxpayers' money, or impress a partner or mates. |
Not so in this case. Frederick Richard Heinze was born on the Twenty-First of September 1946; he is a Virgo-Libra cusp child. That is where he has been every since, a wandering adolescent claiming dubious military service. Of course Fred travelled the predictable path all wannabes follow. He claims to be a member of Australia's Special Forces, the Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment, and during his obligatory tour of duty in Vietnam he was a helicopter pilot. As you will read below, he was not an officer flying helicopters in Vietnam as he was commissioned some ten years after the war. All Heinze's claims are false.

Walkley
![]() |
In the spring edition of the newsletter, 'Over the Top' - Ringwood Victoria, Returned and Service Leagues club, included a colour photograph of a member celebrating ANZAC Day 2002 at their club rooms. Everybody knew "Terry the Pom" - he was a veteran of the British Army due to service in Borneo/Malaya and for this service he was awarded the General Service Medal, Borneo. He had also advised anybody interested that he also had service with the Australian Army - and done a tour of duty in Viet Nam. His vehicle bore the mandatory Viet Nam ribbons sticker and Terry had found the comfort and camaraderie particular to the Viet Nam Veteran membership of his RSL. His active service in South Viet Nam was something that had adversely affected his health and mental well being - those close to him were concerned for his welfare. |
Once the newsletter hit the streets some Viet Nam Veterans experienced warning bells. Here was a picture of one of their own wearing his medals out of sequence. Concerns were directed to the Executive Committee and a cursory check was completed with ANZAC House and official Military sources. Apart from his British Army service, this charlatan had NEVER served in the Australian Army, or for that matter any branch of the Australian Defence Forces.
CPMH was contacted and liaised with the RSL. It is known that the RSL corresponded with Terry and gave him a seven [7] day period of grace to either produce evidence to the contrary or explain his actions. Walkley did neither. CPMH contacted him and gave him twenty one [21] days to produce irrefutable documentary evidence of his Service in Viet Nam or apologise in writing to the Viet Nam Veteran community [included with this correspondence was a copy of the new penalties for offences against the Defence Act 1903]. Terry has not replied to this letter either.
What should leap out to the reader is the stupidity of this individual. Had he done the correct research he would have been aware of the precedence of wearing Active Service Medals. The Veteran community then would not have twigged and his bogus activities would still be attracting sympathy and the encouragement of 'The Brotherhood' and his other clan of believers. It is not known if Terry has attempted any War caused disability claims through the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is common knowledge that DVA access this site from time to time in the interest of preserving the rights of legitimate veterans and we would encourage them to check their records to see if any such claims may have emanated. Terry Walkley is a veteran in his own right. Why he saw the need to embellish his status is unknown. His obvious inaction in showing the gumption to answer all contact for his deeds has earned him a place on this site. Had he replied to the RSL or CPMH with the appropriate apology, it would have been accepted, if he pledged to refrain from attempting to be a Viet Nam Veteran again.

Colquhoun
![]() |
Patricia Iona Colquhoun is not Royalty, nor is she a Veteran. She is but a common thief. One of the variety that steals the honour of Veteran's and the title of a living, breathing, Duchess. Patricia Colquhoun claims to be the Duchess of Argyll on her web page here colquhoun\index.htm Trying to access all of this site via her links will fail as she has now pulled the site because of her exposure. However we managed, as usual, to capture the relevant parts of her site before she was able to close it down so we can show you, the people of the world, just another of the type that we are dealing with. |
Go here and you will see the personal data that she displayed on her site colquhoun\personaldata.htm The absolute drivel is there for you all to see. The facts are that there are two Duchesses of Argyll at present. Eleanor, the current Duchess and Iona, the Dowager Duchess. There is no Patricia Iona, Duchess of Argyll, except in the mind of this impostor. CPMH have informed London Peerage of this impostor who in turn have contacted the real Duke of Argyll, so no doubt there will be a knock on the door of our lovely Patricia in the near future. Her home town of Canberra, our National Capital incidentally, is also the home town of the Australian Federal Police. A short trip around the block won't take them long when the formal complaint is lodged. Our Patricia was very bold with her internet site and also had a chat session set up where she could tell all who cared to contact her just how good and "Royal" she was. It was unfortunate that several of those who began to chat with her were genuine Viet Nam Veterans and the plans for a well laid ambush were set. An archival check of service records show that there was a person of her surname who served in Viet Nam, however that's where the similarity stops. She is no doubt an avid reader, this apparently being where she obtained all the information about the Duchess of Argyll and her stories about being a nurse in Viet Nam. Naturally CPMH checked with the Australian Army Nursing Corps and also with the Australian Civilian Nurses who were in Viet Nam to verify this persons service, but alas, she was never there. She states that on her arrival in Viet Nam she drove to Vung Tau in the "pink Citroen we all used". Members of the Nursing Corps will be familiar with this vehicle, however to drive from Sai Gon, now Ho Chi Minh City, to Vung Tau in this vehicle in December 1969, unescorted, is absolute rubbish. Patricia also claims that she was a Private nurse, another mistake as all our nurses were of commissioned rank. Her knowledge of "things Viet Nam" asked of her by the Veterans could not be answered satisfactorily as she had obviously not read the right books and I can assure her that our seriously wounded brothers were not sent to civilian hospitals in-country to be cared for by the Red Cross. In response to another question posed to her about her service she responded with, "I only did my job and all the credit should go to those who were on the front line and that's why I never want my name in print in publications about Viet Nam." The fact here is she can't have her name in print as she wasn't there. This page is about as far as she is ever going to go with her claims of Veteran status and having her name in print. Anzac Day in Canberra had former service persons searching the ranks for her so that they could go and have a chat. Surely someone that was as proud of her service, see here, would have been out and in the ranks with all the other proud nurses who marched on this day.
Not our Patricia, as she had been emailed by CPMH and was much more interested in changing the information on her web site to read as per here.
then hiding, instead of marching in the ranks. Panic was now setting in. She had been caught out. We know she read our email to her address here, duchessofargyll@bigpond.com as we received both a delivery and read receipt......but no reply was forthcoming.
As stated there is no evidence or service record available under the 30 year act to show any service for Patricia. Through the "old boy" network that exists within the Australian Veterans and Military community it has been established by CPMH that Patricia did do some Army Reserve Service in the 1980's. This amount of service would equate to her learning enough to be able to tie up her boots and attend a evening's parade every now and then. This service was with a medical unit and perhaps this is where she gathered her Viet Nam experiences, standing at the bar at the completion of the nights training, listening intently to the stories of the senior cadre staff members.
PATRICIA IONA COLQUHOUN, DUCHESS OF ARGYLL, is a fraud on both counts. If there is one corps that deserves protection by all ex servicepersons it is our Nursing Corps. The dedication of the men and women of this corps is greatly appreciated by all troops, especially those who were wounded in action. Some of the front line troops that were CASEVAC'd back to the hospitals with wounds, died in the arms of these outstanding men and women. These are haunting memories for them to live with for the rest of their lives. No wonder they were up in arms about the stories put out by this bogus Veteran. When their representatives were contacted about Patricia, they in their own caring way, simply stated that she must be a very lonely person to concoct stories like this. Lonely she shall be no more. She is now a famous Veteran, albeit, bogus, on this her eternal page. This page is not easily removed from the internet like her own fictitious one. To serve this country proudly in war is something only the genuine serviceperson can do. Those that claim it falsely WILL be exposed in the long term. We are but a small Defence or ex Defence community and word of mouth can always confirm if you served. This entry is one of the growing number that will be forwarded to Federal Authorities for prosecution once the proposed new fines and sentences shown on our opening pages are in place.

Roberts

This charlatan was traced and confronted by members of the AATTV (Australian Army Training Team, Vietnam) Queensland Division at a house in Ellen Street, Woody Point, a suburb north of the City of Brisbane. He stated that he borrowed the medals as a joke that turned sour. A "stupid joke" that had got out of hand. His military experience was in 1959 when compulsory National Service required him to complete three (3) months basic training at 11 National Service Battalion situated at Wacol on the western outskirts of Brisbane.

He conned everyone he associated with claiming that he was employed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and working from the Australian Army's base at Enoggera, Brisbane. His decorations, awards and medals claims include:

Broesder
![]() |
CPMH has possession of two signed statements of ex co-workers from the kitchen renovation plant in Bayswater Victoria, where BROESDER is employed as a production manager. |
CPMH conducted an archival service check on BROESDER and it was confirmed he served in the Army with the Medical Corps. On joining the Returned and Services League at Noble Park, Victoria, he registered as serving with 2 Field Ambulance Unit - with his regimental number of 38379 being issued to him. A check of the DVA Nominal Roll of Viet Nam Veterans failed to find his details. Something was beginning to smell!! CPMH corresponded with BROESDER giving him 14 days to respond defending his alleged Viet Nam service. This introductory letter explains the fate that awaits those who choose to ignore our advice to suspected bogus Veterans. Within the set time BROESDER replied, and stated that his secret Viet Nam service was never as such. He makes mention of serving in Malaysia in 1965 with 16 Com Fld Amb (sic) for two weeks reference problem with the border. He goes on to write he spent 2 years and 197 days overseas in four countries - Not Viet Nam. His letter then continues re serving in Viet Nam - He states "I used this line to get information for a book I was going to write which now has been destroyed as of the date I received your letter. So this line will never be used again." BROESDER then writes that he was to go to Viet Nam but failed the medical for skin problem (sic) received in Thailand. Had this pretender not been exposed it is fair to assume that by his own admission (writing a book on Viet Nam) he would have stood to profit financially - nobody writes books for charity these days - so by his own admissions and actions, Pieter Eppo BROESDER now has earned his rightful place in society - lined up with the other deceitful and disgraced people of the bogus Veteran brigade. Our thanks go to the ex employees who worked with this character, without who's signed evidence we cannot proceed to this level of exposure. Pieter was asked to provide a personal photograph to us. He kindly did so and it is shown on this page. Thank you Pieter. We always like to show the world exactly who is pretending to be a Veteran.

Stevens
![]() |
Stevens is a very cunning and devious person who in 1996 attended an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs [DVA] in Sydney and provided a false service number and a false name to obtain, by deception, repatriation benefits as a returned Serviceperson. Stevens obtained and used the identity of a genuine Viet Nam Veteran to obtain a repatriation benefits card entitling him to treatment for medical conditions through DVA.
Note the use of Viet Nam Veteran Association badges on the hat of this convicted fraud and Identity thief |
As at 23 August 2000 Stevens had Fraudulently obtained DVA benefits and treatment totalling AUD $60,204:00. This amount was therefore removed from use by genuine Veterans in need, by this bogus thief. On 19 July 2000 at Palm Beach Police Station in Queensland Stevens was interviewed and questioned about his supposed Viet Nam Service and was told that he had falsely advised the DVA that he was a Veteran . At this very time Stevens was attending an eight week post traumatic stress disorder course funded by the DVA at the Currumbin Hospital, Palm Beach, Queensland......more misuse of the genuine Veterans entitlements. Stevens was now being backed into a corner. He then attempted to ring and intimidate and offer death threats to the DVA staff. Stevens no doubt had picked up a few "tricks" while attending this PTSD course and decided to try the "psycho nutter" Veteran approach in threatening people from the safe distance of his phone. Stevens is a real hero who, over the phone, will offer threats of violence but when confronted by genuine Veterans cowers and quivers and hides behind his wife's skirt. He proved this when confronted in the Lismore Court house when Veterans from all across Australian and New Zealand appeared to see this war hero sentenced for stealing their benefits. This hero did have the intestinal fortitude once to punch a police officer when he was questioned, however, this officer was a policewoman and he punched her in the face and broke her jaw in several places. A genuine hero who really showed his true colours at this time. Stevens was charged with this on 20 April 1999 and was sentenced to six months imprisonment, again suspended for a period of 18 months good behaviour. The law again letting down the public and allowing this heroic bogus war Veteran woman basher to walk free. On 8 April 2000, less than twelve months into his suspended sentence, he was again charged at Glenn Innes, NSW for malicious destruction of property and assaulting a police officer. Again Stevens walked free. This fellow has at this stage had a charmed, protected life. Stevens at about this time joined an internet chat area for serving and retired soldiers and proceeded to put his fictitious Military life on the net for all to see. [see more on this below] He was quickly picked out as a fraud and was promised some swift Veteran justice by several on the site. Our hero then decided that it was time to move his location again before he was paid a visit by a real Veteran. Stevens kept up his masquerade and even attempted to enlist the help of a genuine Veteran to gather information he could use in court to attest to his fictitious service. What a fatal mistake this was for our hero as the friend he got off the net was a member of CPMH who threw him the bait and he took it hook line and sinker. To assist in extracting information from this liar another CPMH member started to email Stevens at his email address here vetssin@hotmail.com pulling apart his claims of service. He would then reply to his "friend" seeking sympathy. This information in turn was sent to the other member and the circle of entanglement had Stevens tripping over his own lies and allowed CPMH to always know where he was living and his phone details. The email address was still active as at the date this page was placed on the internet, 14 November 2003, so please feel free to email him and express your feelings with him. If he offers violence in his return correspondence then we would be happy to give you his home location details. He will never be able to hide from the Veterans he has stolen so much from and if he didn't have genuine PTSD before we can only hope we can contribute to his getting it now so that he gets to know exactly what it is all about. Read on and you will see why Veterans need to always know where this fellow is. We must ensure that he never has the ability to infiltrate the DVA or any other form of Government assistance scheme again. He is a bludger who is not prepared to work for an honest living and will use any means available to prey on the system for handouts. We will ensure that he is not capable of doing this in the future by monitoring his every move and ensuring the Veterans in his neighbourhood know where he is and what he is doing no matter where he may attempt to move to.
Stevens was convicted on 23 October 2003, of stealing from the Government [DVA] and is now only required to pay the original sum back plus a slap on the wrist fine of $3,000 for all the trouble he has caused. The punishments in Australia must be reviewed to stop people such as Stevens walking away with a smirk on his face.........and nothing else. To our way of thinking this wannabe should have been sentenced to ten years in prison, which is the maximum penalty permitted in such a case, to both punish an unscrupulous thief and to deter other wannabe’s from following the same modus operandi.
Angry Veterans attended the Tweed Heads Magistrates court on several occasions to see this miscreant and to watch him get convicted for stealing the identity and repatriation benefits of a genuine Veteran. His failure to appear was seen to be upsetting the magistrate immensely and this was detected by the Veterans in the gallery. Was this also detected by Stevens legal representative and was this why the case was moved to the Lismore court rooms? I guess the answer to this will never be known. Stevens was then alerted to the fact that the local Veterans were onto him. He packed up all his possessions and moved to NSW. Interestingly he purchased a property at Bega, NSW, for just under the amount of money he had defrauded the government for. Finally on appearing in the Magistrates court in Lismore NSW in August 2003, Stevens pleaded guilty to impersonating a Veteran and claiming a total AUD $64,200:00 in benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. This guilty plea effectively removed all chances of witnesses for the DPP to be put on the stand. However Stevens lawyer, who is a genuine Viet Nam Veteran, applied to withdraw the guilty plea after it had been lodged and applied for a Psychological assessment of Stevens to be done under the mental health provision of the Crimes Act section 20 BQ. This section we now refer to as the "Klinger clause" . It was reported in the Lismore Newspapers as the article below
This conviction was based on Steven’s confession in court of his guilt, so the witnesses lined up to testify to his lies were not required to provide their evidence. Some of those witnesses had travelled some distance and were in frail health due to their genuine service. Their evidence would have been damning to the case but the cunning of the defence lawyer avoided them being called. ----- Original Message -----

A plus here for the DVA assessor who saw through this persons supposed TWO WEEKS service in Viet Nam. CPMH have been tracking this fellow now for a long period of time and have supplied a lot of information to the Departments fraud squad to have this fellow charged. Again we will sit in the background until his case is dealt with by the courts and then we will see what the outcome is. The interesting aside to this case is that the same Lawyer that defended Stevens in now defending this bogus Veteran. One would have thought that the fact that the lawyer is a Veteran would have indicated a conflict of interests and he would have given the case away. As a finale at the moment to this poor excuse for a human being's story, the email below was just received. Please note the yellow highlighted area below. Failure of the judicial system to recover this money and the Veteran community will make no mistake about Stevens paying it. After all it is their money so it is in their interest to see it recovered. Visits may have to be arranged by Veterans to make house calls each payday to ensure that the money is given back to DVA. Personally escorted visits to the bank are not out of the question here as genuine TPI Veterans have time on their hands to ensure that this will happen and would welcome any resistance by Stevens in not complying. > >From: "Robert Stevens" <vetssin@hotmail.com> > >To: > >Subject: Travellin' East. > >Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2003 13:46:05 +1000 > >Hi, XXXXXX, > >Gotta let you know more detail about the court case. > >We finally settled on me pleading guilty to mistakes on my > >application form; and they want a refund of $45k in medical costs.. > >At the last hearing, we were on our knees financially, and Merle blew > >up and walked out on me in the middle of the fight. > >So, I settled; and walked away with a big debt hanging over my head; > >one which DVA will never recover. > >From my point of view, I'm not happy, but have to accept the unacceptable; > >and not get too worked up about it.

It should be noted here that his "friend" has all his home address details and should he call in on his proposed trip he just might get to meet another of the "Diggers who will show hostility his way" as he put it above. Heed your own words Mr Stevens. The lesson to be learned here for all bogus Veterans. Take off the unearned awards, stay out of our compensation system and Ex Service Organisations because not one Viet Nam Veteran was de programmed after the end of hostilities and we were all trained "to capture and hold ground and seek out and destroy the enemy." Bogus Veterans are the new age enemy. VIDEO OF STEVENS AS HE LIES TO CHANNEL 7 TODAY TONIGHT PROGRAMME AND CLAIMS HE IS A VETERAN

From: Army Sent: Monday, 5 January 2004 2:01 AM To: file@cpmh.net Subject: Stevens As someone who tried to serve his country with honour in Vietnam i can only voice my disgust at what this person has done and the totally inadequate penalty .Reading his emails i reach the conclusion that he feels no remorse and feels hard done by and will not attempt to repay the money fraudulently received. Matter of fact he seem quite proud of himself. Having had a close family member murdered i am once again astounded by the way the justice system protects the criminal and ignores the rights of the victim and society. I have friends in Bega who will be glad to extract some rough justice from this scumbag if required. Keep up the great work you are doing exposing these scum and let us hope the judiciary will start imposing proper sentences.
