I served with Dono at 1RAR Bravo Company before he went to the SAS in 2004. He was an exceptional soldier that made us new guys look very average 😂, a very dedicated, mature well disciplined soldier for such a young guy, everyone could tell he was meant for the SAS. Met him again in 2010 at the SAS, some guys are born soldiers others are made.
The first thing that went threw my mind when Mark said he remembered thinking wow that’s the kinda level you get being an Aussie soldier , well our politician’s certainly don’t meet the standards our soldiers set for our country
Well deserved of course. But if the medal is the "VC for Australia", why is it still stamped with the British Lion and Crown instead of Australian coat of arms ? Then again your head of state is still British 🤔
