126 Sig Sqn – 660 Sig Tp 1976-77

June 1999

Merv Jenkins, the Australian Defence Intelligence Organisation’s senior man in Washington, committed suicide at his Arlington , Virginia, home on June 13, 1999, his 48th birthday. Jenkins had come under investigation for allegedly passing secret material to allies. The official suspicion came as an extraordinary shock to him having had an impeccable record of military service before taking up the Washington posting.
