Soldiers angry that Army chiefs want to destroy memorial to Afghanistan dead

SOLDIERS serving in Afghanistan are furious that the top brass want to destroy a memorial wall at the main base in Oruzgan Province that carries the names of 40 Australians killed during our longest war.

According to the plan, the names of the dead will be painted over and the three large reinforced concrete T-wall panels they are written on broken down and buried on site.
