| Soldiers bid emotional farewell to Jamie Larcombe |
A 21-year-old Australian soldier killed in Afghanistan last week has been farewelled by his comrades at an emotional memorial in Tarin Kowt.
Sapper Jamie Ronald Larcombe was shot and killed in a Taliban ambush in Uruzgan province along with an Afghan interpreter.
The Darwin-based combat engineer was remembered by his commanding officer as a young man who epitomised the core values of an Australian soldier.
"Mateship is what defines the best in an Aussie digger and Jamie was amongst our best," Lieutenant Colonel Darren Huxley said.
