AFGHANISTAN-AUSTRALIA-UNREST
A handout photo taken on June 24, 2010 and released by the Australian Defence Force on June 25 shows Special Operations Task Group Members and guests attending a memorial service in Tarin Kowt for Pte Benjamin Adam Chuck, Pte Timothy James Aplin and Pte Scott Travis Palmer, prior to them being flown home for burial. Mourners gathered to farewell the soldiers at a Ramp Ceremony to repatriate their remains to Australia. The service, held in Camp Russell, was celebrated by Chaplin Maumau Monu and was attended by Special Forces personnel and invited guests. Following the service, the coffins were carried in procession on vehicles flanked by all serving personnel from Multi National Base Tarin Kowt in a demonstration of tribute and respect to their fallen comrades. The men, part of 2nd Commando Regiment, were killed on operation when the helicopter they were in crashed on route to an Operation in northern Kandahar. Another seven Australian were wounded in the incident. AFP PHOTO/HO/AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE/Corporal Raymond Vance
