Person Five told the court he sent Victoria Cross recipient a confidential document about evidence he gave to the Australian Defence Force
Australian militaryThe war veteran’s former patrol commander, codenamed Person Five, returned to the federal court on Thursday to continue his evidence on behalf of his good friend.
From the United States, Person Five admitted he sent the Victoria Cross recipient a confidential document about evidence he gave to the inspector general of the Australian Defence Force.One month earlier, after his interview with the IGADF, Person Five spoke to his former second-in-command.He said it looked like another comrade who has given evidence in the trial, Person 18, had been “dragged in as well”.
The “after action report” was viewed by all troop members and was revised up to seven times to ensure everyone agreed the details were correct, he said. He recalled an Australian general attended after hearing about the extensive onslaught the SAS soldiers had fought through, and said: “What the fuck were you thinking”?Following Roberts-Smith’s award of the highest honour, media articles surfaced of alleged bullying almost immediately, he said.
