KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN — To the skirl of a lone bagpiper, Canadian troops in Afghanistan bowed their heads Monday to mark the 90th anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge. The ceremony was held near a small cenotaph that contains the pictures and names of 45 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat who have been killed in Afghanistan since April, 2002.
Soon the names and pictures of six more troops, all members of Hotel company, will be added to the marble monument. Sgt. Donald Lucas, Cpl. Aaron Williams, Pte. Kevin Vincent Kennedy and Pte. David Robert Greenslade, all of the Gagetown, N.B.-based 2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, died Sunday in the explosion along with Cpl. Christopher Paul Stannix, a reservist with the Halifax-based Princess Louise Fusiliers.

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN — Two Canadian soldiers have been killed and three injured in two separate roadside bombing attacks in Afghanistan, military officials said Wednesday.
We shall remember them.
