Repatriation of Trooper Joshua Porter
13 March 2007
Following the successful recovery mission in Fiji last week, Special Air Service Trooper Joshua Porter was repatriated home to his wife and family at RAAF Base Richmond on board a Hercules aircraft today.
A military bearer party comprising of seven of his mates was on hand to honour their fallen comrade and accompany him on his return home.
Our thoughts are with his wife and family during this time and we join them in mourning the tragic loss of a fellow Australian. More
