NSW school mourns second fallen digger

SYDNEY (AAP) - Almost a year after they lost one "modern-day Anzac warrior" a northern NSW school community will farewell a second son.
Sapper Rowan Robinson, 23, was shot and killed on Monday during a raid on an enemy munitions dump, making him the fourth Australian casualty of the past fortnight and the 27th since fighting began a decade ago.
He was on his second tour of Afghanistan.
In a harrowing twist, the fallen digger attended high school at Mount St Patrick's College at Murwillumbah alongside Private Nathan Bewes who was buried last July.
Private Bewes, 23, was killed by a roadside bomb while on patrol and became the 17th Australian soldier to die in Afghanistan.
Friends have described Sapper Robinson as a keen athlete, "who went to war a boy and returned a man".
Sapper Robinson grew up at Duranbah on the Tweed Coast where he attended Cudgen Public School and was a nipper at the surf club.
He later graduated from Kingscliff High School in 2005.
Memorial services are planned across the Tweed Coast to honour the fallen soldier.
Sapper Robinson's parents now live in Townsville, where they can be close to daughter, Rachael, and two other sons, Troy and Ben, who are also members of the Defence Force, the Gold Coast Bulletin reports.
It's believed his family will return to Kingscliff to bury their son and brother.
Sapper Robinson was from the Sydney-based Incident Response Regiment.
