Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan

Our thoughts go out to the family and loved ones of two Australian soldiers - Sappers Jacob Moerland, 21, and Darren Smith, 26, from the 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment - who were killed recently in Afghanistan.

A roadside bomb detonated while the men were on a routine foot patrol in the Mirabad Valley. Smith's explosive's detection dog, Herbie, was also killed in the explosion. One of the soldiers died instantly while the other received emergency first aid by fellow patrol officers before being subsequently airlifted to a nearby ISAF hospital. He died a short time later from his wounds.

Lest we forget.
