Lance Corporal Andrew Jones, 25, was an army cook and member of the 9th Force Support Battalion. While performing guard duty at a patrol base in the Chorah Valley, he was shot dead by a Afghan National Army solder in circumstances that have yet to be explained.
In a statement released by defence, members of his family described him as a dependable yet cheeky character "who we will miss with all our hearts".
"Andrew enjoyed his role in the army and was an excellent soldier. We are sure his mates will also miss him, his professionalism, but most of all his sense of humour," they said.
"His dedication to his role as a cook was second to none. He would always call on all his resources to provide the very best meals for his mates, including using his favourite family recipes."
Family members said Jones's mates within his unit admired him, not just for his great cooking, but for the great soldier and man he was.
"We would like to especially thank those that helped Andrew in his last hours. We know you did your best to save him and continue to face the big job ahead of you while also dealing with his death," they said.
