It is with great sadness that the Department of Defence announces the death of Sergeant Matthew Locke, serving with Special Air Service Regiment in Oruzgan Province in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, 25 October 2007.
Sergeant Locke was on a patrol when fatally wounded by small arms fire from Taliban extremists.
Sgt Locke was decorated (Medal of gallantry) for extreme bravery in the face of overwhelming fire in 2005 for his actions on a previous deployment to Afghanistan.
Sadly he is the second Australian killed in the past 17 days.
Rest in peace mate
