The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO) is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jeremie Robert Munso, a 22-year-old paramedic from Melbourne who was killed in late August while serving as a combat medic with Med Team Alpha of Ukraine’s International Legion.
Jeremie served in the Australian Army Reserve and graduated as a paramedic earlier this year. Rather than begin a comfortable career at home, he chose to take his skills to Ukraine to help defend a nation fighting for its survival.
His family has shared that he was mortally wounded after choosing to stay with injured members of his team while under enemy fire. He gave his life doing what he trained to do: caring for others. 
To Jeremie’s mother, family and friends: the Ukrainian community in Australia grieves with you. We are profoundly grateful for his courage, his compassion and his sacrifice, and we hope that he can be brought home to you.
Jeremie’s sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Вічная пам’ять Герою
