Nowadays, I often visit Yungaburra’s Avenue of

Honour – a place of healing for many of us veterans

who want to remember those mates who didn’t make

it home. I visit fairly regularly. I along with so many of

us from the Unit have over a dozen mates on that wall.

I think about the fun times we used to have.

I’m now involved with numerous Veteran Charities

The Meritorious Unit Citation (MUC) awarded to 4 RAR

Commando in 2006 for Afghanistan,

An AC130 similar to this one went ‘Winchester’ supporting our

platoon during the battle against the Taliban.

and I hope to reach out to other veterans in the Far

North Queensland through the game of golf. We’re

trying to start a social golf club, where veterans can

come and play golf with other veterans, yet at the end

of the day, it is the simple things in life I appreciates the

most, far from my time in the Ghan. I have a beautiful

wife and two beautiful girls. I’m probably the happiest

I’ve ever been.

4 RAR Com mando, now known as 2nd Commando

Regiment, was not only awarded the Unit Citation for

Gallantry for Gallantry (UCG) but as a result of the

Ambush & OP Perth the first Star of Gallantry (SG) ever

awarded to an Australian Soldier (only second to the

VC) to a number of Medals of Gallantry.
