Personal satement from the partner of Private Nathan Bewes
The following statement was released on behalf of Private Bewes’ Partner, Alice
Walsh:
Nate was my best friend, my soul mate, the one I knew I’d be with for the rest of my
life. He was an amazing mate to our many friends and was loved by everyone. He
always made me laugh and I have never loved anyone so much. He was an excellent
soldier who was willing to put his life in danger along with his mates from Team 3 for
the people of Australia. I will miss my Bewesy for the rest of my life.
While your loved one comes home to you every day there are others who are
worrying if there will be another day. Soldier’s families be proud, as they are out
changing the world, making history and putting their lives on the line for Australia.
Take one minute out of your day to pray or wish upon a star for a soldier so that they
may all come back home safely one day to his/her family.
I Love and miss you Nate.
Media Note:
Ms Walsh has asked the media to enable
her
to grieve in private. Further details on
the repatriation of Private Bewes and memorial services will be provided as this
information becomes available.
