So sorry for Sean's passing, I too was 24 on my second trip to the Leb. Engaged and saving to get married, 64th Bn. and another Soldier 27th Bn. Pte. Mick McNeila lost his life too. It brings it all flooding to read of this. Later on in the trip, three more lives were lost. I'm not ashamed to say, I'm shedding a tear every time I read an article about it. R.I.P. Sean.
