Canadians casualties in Afghanistan, CTV web page
"Since the start of Canadian military activities in Afghanistan, 103 Canadian soldiers have lost their lives.
A Canadian diplomat and two Canadian aid workers have also been killed over the course of the insurgency."
In that CTV link, pictures of all Canadians casualties in Afghanistan,
fill by year of death with names, rank and a few words about theirs
personality.
Example :
July 4, 2007: Roadside bomb kills six soldiers
A roadside bomb kills six Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, as well as an Afghan interpreter,
in the Panjwaii district southwest of Kandahar City. The soldiers were travelling in a RG-31
Nyala armoured vehicle with the interpreter when they struck the bomb. The total toll
exceeded that of an April 8, 2007 blast that left six dead.
Cpl. Jordan Anderson, 25
3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, Edmonton, Alta.
Hometown: Iqaluit, Nunavut
Anderson grew up in Inuvik. He is believed to be the first northerner to die in Afghanistan.
His widow Amanda accepted a posthumous degree in political science on his behalf from
the University of Manitoba. He'd been studying online while serving overseas.
As Corporal Jordan Anderson was a member of Army.ca, there is some threads here about him :
On the Ramp: Corporal Jordan Anderson Memorial Scholarship
or by him :
Explain the decision of the Canadian government not to join the coalition in the war against Iraq.
Canada's decision not to join the war in Iraq (essay) by GO!!!
(I've stumble on the lattest while searching for a thread to reply to with the link of CTV's "Canadians casualties in Afghanistan")
