The Fallen

A few days ago I sent a thank you email to the CO and DCO of 3VP. There was a bit of friendly back and forth and a commitment to stay in touch.

The next day, the Battalion had its first fatality on the training mission to Kabul. Master Cpl. Byron Greff was killed with 16 other NATO members by a 700KG vehicle-borne bomb.

I have steered clear of posting "news" pieces but it seems that with my closeness to the Btn. and the project existing because of the access they have been kind enough to grant me, I should want to pay a small mention to the first soldier from the battalion to die in theatre.

The very blurry place between documentation and personal investment is a topic of tangible interest to me as an artist. But the death of a husband, father and member of the Regiment is the more important reason for me as a former member of 3PPCLI.
