I'm looking for some information on the cambodian blast that killed an Australia back in March 2018.

General makevie said he posted some photos somewhere else, it says I don't have permission to view the other post, how do I get permission??

I think you have to ask permission to look at that part of the forum.
The Australian guy held onto the grenade instead of throwing it in the pond. One of the staff tried to grab it too late, both died.

I think you have to make more posts as well. Why are you interested in this incident?

Because I think this was one of my mates I used to work with, I only found out about this on Tuesday night so I'm looking for a name or something of the Australian that was killed...

I had a quick look and I don't think their names were mentioned. Unusual but possibly some Australian law.
