Jennifer Ward became the first mother of a fallen soldier to lead a Melbourne Anzac Day march, honouring her son Ben who was killed in Afghanistan at age 22. Ben Ward served in the military helping with peacekeeping operations and supporting local communities in Afghanistan and East Timor. Jennifer describes her son as charismatic with a lifelong determination to serve in the defence forces, having decided on his military career as a young boy after sitting on a tank at a shopping centre.
