Three more since the last edition. See “VALE” for details. Coupled with this is the sad news that two serving Diggers from our battalions took their own lives this week, adding to a constantly growing list of 193 since 2001. (See more below). We must look after each other, ring your mates and make sure they are not suffering. Lend your ear to their worries; believe me it does help. We also need to be mindful of our younger men and women veterans who have been in harms way and experienced the same horrors of war that we did.
