Rest In Peace Brother
I had the honour of serving with Jamie as part of the 3rd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment in Charlie Company and Support Company 2001-2005. He was a dedicated, exceptional soldier and steadfast mate who always had a way of lifting the spirit of those around him and bringing out the best in people. He is sorely missed by anyone that knew him. Lest We Forget.
