DAVID PEARCE
A Defence Department statement following the death in Afghanistan yesterday of Trooper David Pearce:
David Pearce spent 18 wonderful years with his wife and had two beautiful daughters aged 11 and 6 years, who were the love and centre of his life.
David joined the Army relatively late in life.
After three years with the Army Reserve, including a tour of Solomon Islands, he joined the Regular Army at the age of 39.
With his life experience, outgoing personality and ability to relate to people of all ages, he was a popular and respected member of his unit.
He was a patriotic Australian and loved his work with the Army, particularly the comradeship he developed with his mates.
