Funeral Service for Lieutenant Kenneth Hudson
In 1965-66 the Australian Army was involved in border security operations during the period of Indonesia Confrontation that existed between the Federation of Malaysia and Indonesia. On 21 March 1966, two members of a SAS patrol were lost during one of these operations.
While attempting a river crossing in West Kalimantan (Indonesia) Lieutenant Kenneth Hudson and Private Robert Moncrieff were swept away and were separated from the remainder of the patrol.
Some remains were recovered from two separate burial sites in West Kalimantan in October 2009 and the investigation report and Army’s findings, that the men were swept away and drowned were accepted by the WA Coroner in January 2010.
Lieutenant Hudson and Private Moncrieff were flown home to Australia by a Royal Australian Air Force C-130, on April 12, 2010.
Lieutenant Hudson and Private Moncrieff are the last SAS missing in action to be found and returned home.
