My mum loved this guy when she worked in the coffee pot in Truro. always telling me tales if his escapades. she always laughed about when he went to the loo once and came Out to tell her "I had to grab my ankles for that one" he made her laugh. my respect and thoughts go to his family.

Oz,

you are a man amongst men, the strongest of the strongest. A true gent, who i remember as the life and sole of the community.

Such a waste of a talent, so soon to being back amongst your family.

Gaz, Dan, and you will always be in our minds, sleep peacefully big man.

Oz,

Mate im absolutey gutted, ive just heard the news, it barely seem's like yesterday we were sharing a brew and a menthol in kajaki an putting the world to right's, usual squaddie banter. You had an infectious sense of humour and personality from the moment of meeting you, you put myself and my company at ease with the task that had to be done.

I felt the need to write something, after the short period you spent with us in the FOB but the job you and your guys carried out for us was undoubtedly the bravest and most courageous act I've ever seen,also in the aftermath of the ANA incident, I cant thank you enough for your help, truly proffessional, and doing it on a daily basis as you and your team did, from myself and all of I Coy and 2 Rifles you will not be forgotten, a true HERO in every sense. Our thought's are with your family now mate, you are with good company up there.

RIP OZ, you are a legend mate.

Your star shines the brightest.
Whatever else we fail to do,
We never fail to think of you.
