Two members of the catafalque party at Multinational

Two members of the catafalque party at Multinational Base Tarin Kot, Afghanistan, honor combat engineer Cpl. Scott James Smith, during his memorial service Oct. 26 2012. Smith was killed in action by an improvised explosive device during a joint Australian-Afghan clearance mission Oct. 21, 2012. The catafalque party consists of four members of an armed guard who stand, their heads bowed and their arms (weapon) reversed, facing outward approximately one meter from the coffin or catafalque as a symbolic form of respect for those who have fallen.
