Summary: Sergeant Brett Wood, a 32 year old digger on his 3rd deployment to Afghanistan was killed by an IED.

 

Two different articles about it here:

 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/05/24/3224997.htm

 

Sergeant Wood's death brings to 25 the total number of Australians killed while serving in Afghanistan - 24 with the Australian Defence Force and one with British armed forces. Thirteen Australians have been killed in the past 12 months.

A 32-YEAR-old Digger described as "a magnificent soldier'' by his top commander has died in one of the worst days for our troops fighting in Afghanistan.

 

Sgt Wood had been awarded the medal of gallantry for bravery in Afghanistan in 2006.

 

There were also numerous other injuries that happened, take a look at the ABC article, it lists them there.

 

RIP

yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']
