TIM MCCOMBE OAM

2 February 2015
It is with great sadness that I extend my condolences to the family and friends of Tim McCombe OAM.
Tim passed away on Saturday, 31 January 2015, at Bowral District Hospital, New South Wales.
Tim McCombe OAM was a veteran who devoted his time to lending a hand to other veterans and current serving men and women.
A regular soldier himself, Tim served in the Australian Army from 1964 to 1973 in locations including Malaya, Borneo and Vietnam. During the Vietnam War he served as an infantry soldier from May to August 1967 with the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment and was severely injured by a mine explosion.

A NATIONAL DAY OF COMMEMORATION FOR AUSTRALIAN TROOPS

A national day of commemoration will be held on March 21 2015 to recognise and commemorate the contribution and sacrifice of Australian troops who served in Afghanistan and the Middle East.

It is expected that the 400 Australian military personnel still serving in Afghanistan – in training and support roles – will largely be home by then.

Commemorative activities to mark the end of Operation Slipper will include parades of current and former Australian Defence Force and support personnel.

Australia’s mission in Afghanistan has come at a heavy human cost - 40 Australian soldiers lost their lives and more than 260 personnel were wounded.
