The remains of Australia's last "missing soldier" from the Vietnam War have been returned to Australia today in a Hercules accompanied by S-A-S soldiers.

Private David Fisher was killed when he fell from a helicopter during an evacuation of his patrol in 1969.

Private Fisher's family and members from his regiment held a special service at Richmond airbase near Sydney to commemorate his return.

The defence science and personnel minister Warren Snowdon was at the ceremony.

I wish we could account for all our boys. But I suppose the scale of our involvement makes that a logistical impossibility.

RIP Pvt. Fisher.

It's impossible to "rank" the deaths, but to fall from a helicopter during an evacuation...how sad. Peace to him and his family.
