In Memory of WO2 Ryan Leslie and Craftsman Brendon Payne - 30 August 2021
On 30 August 2021, the RAEME family was deeply saddened by the tragic passing of WO2 Ryan Leslie and Craftsman Brendon Payne during a military exercise at the Townsville Field Training Area.
In recognition of their service and sacrifice, a permanent memorial has been established along the Dotswood/Mingela Road, close to the site of the accident. This place of reflection was made possible through the generosity of the RAEME community who supported its construction. Designed and built by RAEME personnel in close consultation with the families of Ryan and Brendon, the memorial was officially unveiled on 30 August 2023.
Above: 6 September 2021. 7th Combat Brigade mourned the loss of two of their brothers, WO2 Ryan Leslie and CFN Brendon Payne. Two good soldiers and two good men who were loved by all who worked with and knew them.
Featuring memorial facades, engraved plaques, a seat for quiet reflection, and a weather-proof box for messages, the site offers a space for all who wish to pause and remember. It stands as a lasting tribute to the dedication and service of Ryan and Brendon, and as a reminder of the bond shared across our Corps.
The RAEME Association Queensland and its members honour their memory and extend our continued respect to their families, friends, and comrades.
