The New Zealand Defence Force is grateful for the assistance of the ADF in helping with the repatriation of our fallen comrade.
CPL Grant died when he was hit by a bullet fired by an insurgent during an attack in Kabul.
The NZ Defence Force will advise details of the funeral for CPL Grant later this week.
