Ok ..

Sadly, last week Australia lost its first soldier in Iraq, when he apparently accidently shot himself when cleaning his pistol.

His body was due to be returned to Melbourne Australia last night. Defence officials etc, were all there to meet the return of his body and the ceremony etc etc.

Plane arrives - wrong body
