The bodies of three Australian soldiers killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan are on their way home. A solemn ceremony was held at the Tarin Kowt base in Oruzgan Province on Thursday to honour privates Benjamin Chuck, Timothy James Alpin and Scott Travis Palmer ahead of their homecoming.

How very sad all of this is,such good looking young lads,how many more will Ms Gillard allow to die for what I see as a lost cause.We know of Vets that fought in other wars that Australia had no party to and they all say it’s a lost cause.I would think they would know as they were there.
