Australia's Kurdish community has promised to bring home the body of a man from Queensland's Gold Coast reportedly killed in Syria while fighting against the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or IS.
23-year-old Reece Harding is thought to have died on the weekend after stepping on a landmine during a night-time operation with Kurdish forces.
The federal government says it is struggling to confirm the death because Australia does not have an embassy in Syria.
