Tribute by Barry Roper on behalf of the 32 BN Association
"I knew Daniel, Silva and Robbie for a very short period in my life. I met them when I was doing ration runs up to where they where stationed in Luenga. I have always had this memory at the back of my mind that I can never forget of Daniel and what happened on that day. To all those who helped contribute towards this tombstone today, thank you very much. From the 32 Battalion Association I would also like to say thank you to the Special Forces League for ***inviting/advising*** us ***to/on*** this meeting. I am not going to say too much today, because it is quite an emotional day for me. I was nearby where these guys where killed. So, thank you!"
