He always made me laugh with "I'm not an Aussie, I'm from Great Yarmouth".Jase we will raise a glass mate, gone but not forgotten.

Jason Hack was one of my MT soldiers at 11 Ord Coy, Soltau when he died after a MHE accident in which he was riding on a Hyster Forklift truck that bounced on uneven ground and the safety cage crushed him.Robbie Burns, my Sgt that day, was in charge of the MT Section and was heart broken at his death as he was for a long time afterwards.Jason was a good and very bright young soldier and liked by many of his friends, NCO's, Senior Ranks and Officers alike.He also took part in the Scotland 4x4 rally with the then OC Maj. Carl Hewitt just before his return to duty station and his accident.We all thought he was going to make a great career in the forces and had good potential to be a future senior NCO?Sadly Jason was another casualty of the hard work and training with did at Soltau preparing for war and anything else that came our way.The world lost a good soldier that day.Jason's death affected everyone in the MT, the stores section, and those living in boys and girls that day too.Sadly because I was out of duty station that day with CSM Eddie Edwards in Minden, I had to return and be the investigator into his death with the SIB.One disadvantage of been a MHE Instructor and Garrison MTO I guess?As part of our, and Jason's family's, recovery we brought Jason's Mum and Dad out to Germany and we all spent many days together.Robbie Burns still maintains contact with them to this day I believe.We also had a memorial 12 months from the day of his death and his parents came back to Germany to spend more time with us again.RIP Jason, you are always in the memories of Robbie, myself, and many more of the 11 Ord Coy gang of 1990.
