Ben Roberts-Smith to attend first Anzac Day service since war crime charges
Former Australian SAS corporal and Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith will attend an Anzac Day service in Queensland on Saturday, marking his first such commemoration since being charged with five counts of war crime murder over alleged actions in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012. Roberts-Smith, who was released on bail last week and restricted to Queensland except for medical or legal trips to other states, has vehemently denied the charges and aims to clear his name; meanwhile, a white nationalist-linked group is planning a pro-Roberts-Smith rally in Melbourne that he and his family have explicitly disassociated themselves from.
