Well done, Trooper Donaldson!
Thank you, Trooper Donaldson. We're so lucky to have you & your kind.
Trooper Donaldson's courageous actions in the face of the enemy embodied the qualities of every Australian Soldier that has fought in every major conflict during the past 100+ years i.e. Professionalism, Tenacity, Unequaled Courage and above all, an Undying Loyalty to his mates.
