So sorry to hear this terrible news. Thanks Col for bringing it to us. He was a good bloke.

One of the nicest guy's I and many others have ever meet. I remember discussing the army life with him some years ago. It was his thing, he loved what he did, he trained hard to achieve the results of what he did.

R.I.P mate, you will be sadly missed by many, however still an inspiration in our thoughts

Condolences to his family and the families of the other soldiers,

Bugga so sad for his family such a nice guy R.I.P. Ben Chuck

I can't believe Chucky is gone, stupid war!
Had a long session today for you mate, you would have loved where I'm kiting, I think you know where!

RIP and condolences to the Chuck family (and all Bens friends).

Rest in Peace Ben, Tim and Scott

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest we forget

Condolences to family and friends

agreed and condolences .Too bad that the polls are indicating that the Aussie public don't have the same resolve ,courage and commitment that the troops have in trying to make Afghanistan and the world a better place .
