Notes
Born 1978 South Africa. “It is with deep regret that I inform you that an Australian soldier has been killed, when Taliban insurgents engaged an Afghan forward operating base with rockets. An Australian element was deployed at the base during the attack. The soldier died as a result of this indirect fire. No other Australian soldiers or other nationals were wounded in this attack,” Air Chief Marshal Houston said. "This soldier died serving our nation. He was experienced, with a previous operational tour in East Timor. He was professional and a great team member, and his actions and service exemplified the spirit and values of the Australian Army. We should remember his service with much gratitude and respect."
