TO THE EDITOR: The recent article in ADF Health on forensic aspects of the Bali bombing investigation 1 omitted an acknowledgement of the ADF forensic dental team which worked in Bali. I apologise for this oversight. The members were:

Colonel Geoffrey Stacey RAADC
Lieutenant Commander Matthew Blenkin RAN
Squadron Leader Alex Forrest
Squadron Leader Alain Middleton

Without their efforts, the identification of many victims of the bombing would have been impossible.
