The military has released the names:
• Master Cpl. Allan Stewart, 30 • Trooper Patrick James Pentland, 23 Both were with the Royal Canadian Dragoons, based at CFB Petawawa in Ontario. Both are originally from New Brunswick, CTV's Lisa LaFlamme reported from Kandahar. She said they were in a Coyote, which is a light armoured vehicle used for reconaissance. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...hub=TopStories |

Yeah, Stewie was in my troop in 2000. A very keen soldier indeed!
And a really nice guy. A big blow to our morale! I wish his relatives strength! And all the families for that matter! Dan |

Hi Dan
The Sqn came into KAF for the ramp ceremony, did it and had a small Wake of sorts for the boys afterward. Before the ceremony all Dragoons were put in the front row of the Btl Gp side and a Dragoon Major, who is here as Camp Commandant , also told all those that were ever a Dragoon or served in any capacity with us to move to the front of the NSE/NCE side. A nice touch, I thought, and very much appreciated by those Sup Techs, Sigs, Mechs, Medics, and MPs etc that wore a black beret. At the Wake a number of other Dragoons, not employed with the Sqn, myself included, showed up as well and all remembered Stewie and young Pentland in a fitting fashion. I spent some 2 hours with their Tp WO myself. The OC, SSM, and an ex-CO said a few inspirational words to the troops and re-focussed the Sqn on their responsibilities and then we signed for a beer and a couple of pizza slices. Simple but effective, to be sure. The Sqn had another 24hrs here in civilizaton, of sorts, and headed back out on the mission. Be proud of these Troops. 100% proffessional but respectful and sensitive to the loss. regards Darrell |

Canada buys Dutch Leopards
http://www.track-link.net/forum/research_postww2/5204
Canada buys Dutch Leopards "I've found some additional information. It looks like the Canadian purchased 20 Leopard 2A6 and 80 2A4's.The latter will be rebuild to 2A6(M?) standard. The 2A6 vehicles will be converted to 2A6M standard, with as soon as possible deployment to Afghanistan in mind. I guess Dutch type smoke grenade launchers and such will be replaced with Canadian standard equipment. The 2A4 tanks are in climate controlled storage, the 2A6's seems to be pulled from operational Dutch units. So the Canadian armed forces will make a quantum leap in armoured capabilities." quote from the above mentioned site.

We lost one more - RIP
Canadian soldier dies in accident in Afghanistan
Updated Wed. Apr. 18 2007 8:51 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff A Canadian special forces soldier has died in what military officials are calling an unfortunate and tragic accident. The soldier fell from a communication tower somewhere within Kandahar City on Wednesday, Col. Mike Cessford, deputy Canadian commander in Afghanistan, told reporters in Kandahar early Thursday. "I believe this was a routine activity. It was not operationally related," he said. "By all indications, this was a tragic accident." An accidental death doesn't make it any easier to take, he said. "A loss is a loss of a soldier. This soldier is going home to his family. It is a tragedy. We care for every soldier, no matter the circumstances of their deaths," he said. While the next of kin have been informed, they have requested that his name not be released, Cessford said. This latest fatality would bring the total number of soldiers killed in Afghanistan since 2002 to 54 plus one diplomat. Cessford said he believes this is the first special forces soldier to die in Afghanistan. Funerals The death occurred on a day when two of six Canadian soldiers who died Easter Sunday were laid to rest. Hundreds of mourners attended funeral services for Cpl. Aaron Williams, 23, of Perth-Andover, N.B., and his commander, Sgt. Donald Lucas, 31, of St. John's, N.L. Those two ceremonies were the first of eight to be carried out in Atlantic Canada and Ontario after Taliban roadside bombs killed Canadian soldiers in two separate incidents. Pte. David Greenslade will be buried Thursday in his hometown of Saint John, N.B., while Pte. Kevin Kennedy of St. Lawrence, N.L., will be buried in St. Mary's in eastern Newfoundland. Services will be held Friday for Cpl. Brent Poland in Sarnia, Ont., and Master Cpl. Christopher Stannix in Halifax. Master Cpl. Allan Stewart and Trooper Patrick Pentland died on April 11. A funeral for Stewart will be held Friday in Ontario, while one will be held for Pentland at CFB Gagetown. Both soldiers had been based at CFB Petawawa.

Dutch soldier killed in Afghanistan explosion
Updated Fri. Apr. 20 2007 7:11 AM ET Associated Press THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- A Dutch soldier was killed early Friday in an explosion in southern Afghanistan, the first fatality from hostile action among Dutch troops serving with NATO forces in the country, the Netherlands' defence chief said. Gen. Dick Berlijn said the soldier, a corporal whose name was not released, was killed in the southern Helmand province while on a foot patrol as part of Operation Achilles, launched last month by NATO to flush out militants entrenched in the opium-producing area. Most Dutch troops in Afghanistan are stationed in neighbouring Uruzgan province on a reconstruction mission, but Dutch forces also have taken part in NATO offensives against the Taliban. The corporal was the sixth Dutch soldier killed on Afghan duty since the government sent nearly 2,000 troops to Uruzgan last August. Three died in aviation accidents, one in an armoured car crash and another in an apparent suicide. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...0420?hub=World |

...and I found it interesting that this soldier appears to be carrying a 2in Mortar! I know that troops are still being issued the 1940's made Inglis Hi-Power, but is the 2in Mortar also still current issue, or has this been picked up off the Taliban? If it's still in service, I'd like to have a closer look at the LAV to see if it has 1941 10.50-20 Chevron tires!!

Hi Tony
Yeah, it may look like a 2in but it's a handheld variant of the M19 60mm Mortar. Of course it goes back to around 1942 but some things just can't be improved upon is all. Our Inf Coys, including the ones over here, each have their own integral capability. http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/Engl...sp?product=100 regards Darrell |

Canada buys 10 more armoured vehicles from U.S.
Updated Sun. May. 6 2007 4:19 PM ET Canadian Press OTTAWA -- The Defence Department has quietly signed a deal with a U.S. defence contractor to acquire 10 heavily armoured patrol vehicles. The US $8.8 million deal was announced by Force Protection, Inc., (NASDAQ:FRPT) of Charleston, S.C., on its website late last week. The company will manufacture 10 Buffalo and Cougar mine-protected vehicles -- five each -- for the Canadian expeditionary force command. The trucks, which have a V-shaped hull meant to deflect the blasts of roadside bombs, are expected to be delivered in August and are destined for duty in Afghanistan. "This initial, urgent order will go . . . for immediate deployment,'' Damon Walsh, a vice-president at Force Protection, said in a statement. "Based on past performance, we know it will save Canadian lives.'' Defence has not commented on the purchase, nor explained why the vehicles are necessary after last year's acquisition of 75 RG-31 Nyalas from a South African subsidiary of British-owned BAE Systems Inc. The Nyala, although loved by the troops for the protection that it affords from improvised explosives, went through a series of teething pains. The vehicle, which has seen service all over the world, was specially modified for Canada's needs in Afghanistan. Rather being fielded tested to work out the bugs, the Nyalas went straight from the South African assembly line on to the explosive-strewn streets of Kandahar. Last summer, at the height of fierce fighting with the Taliban, more than a quarter of the fleet was in the shop with maintenance problems, army records show. Most of the problems were either electrical or software glitches, many relating to the roof-mounted, remote-controlled machine gun. The alternators in the Nyalas could not handle the combined load of the remote-controlled machine gun and newly installed Canadian radios and jammers. The electrical system had to be beefed up to handle 280 amps. It's unclear if those problems convinced the department to shop elsewhere -- or whether the new vehicles will have a defined role with specific types of troops. For example, since 2003, American forces have assigned Cougars and Buffaloes to engineering and explosive-disposal teams. Unlike, the Nyala, the new trucks have no windows and are capable of carrying more troops and equipment. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...506?hub=Canada |

Hi John
yeah, I've seen these around Kandahar Airfield. The EOD (US) guys use the Cougars and there are a couple of the Buffalos around as well but I'm unsure who uses them. I imagine the idea around us getting these two new types is the fact they are much bigger than the RG. Nyala is still good kit but not a big load-carrying capability. More of a Patrol vehicle. regards Darrell |

Canadian troops engage Taliban for second day
Updated Tue. May. 8 2007 9:02 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff Canadian soldiers fought a fierce battle against the Taliban on Tuesday for the second day in a row, alongside soldiers from the Afghan National Army. In Nalgham, about 35 kilometres south-west of Kandahar city, members of Hotel company made their way over mud walls and through waist-high water, as militants shot at them with rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire. The company's commander, Maj. Alex Ruff, told CTV News the battle has gone well. "Well, so far, and keep your fingers crossed, we haven't lost anybody and there are a lot less Taliban running around," he said. Initial estimates suggested 23 militants were killed in the firefight. But Ruff has reason to be cautious. On April 8, he lost six soldiers to an improvised explosive device: Cpl. Brent Poland, Master Cpl. Christopher Stannix, Sgt. Don Lucas, Cpl. Aaron Williams, Pte. Kevin Kennedy and Pte. David Greenslade. Soldiers are trying to train Afghan troops so they can eventually take up the war against the Taliban, allowing Canadians to focus on a supporting role when engaging the enemy. On Tuesday, Afghan army members fought on the front line in Nalgham, using similar weapons as the Taliban and with the same expert knowledge of the landscape. The Taliban are now using poppy fields to their advantage. It's near the end of Afghanistan's poppy harvesting season, and insurgents are using the long stems to hide from coalition forces. But Canadian soldiers, far better trained, are using the Taliban's tactics against them. "The Taliban like to just pop their heads up and take random shots when they know you're in the area," said Pte. Rob Spencer. "But we're trained to take aimed shots to hit them. It's more effective." The troops were first ambushed by militants on Monday near Howz-e-Madad, just north of Nalgham. Engineers detonate road-side bomb Canadian military engineers close to the Pakistan border detonated an IED Tuesday, away from a road in Spin Boldak, Afghanistan. The location of the bomb suggested militants may have been interrupted before they could place it on the road, or wanted to study Canadian tactics. "I'd have to say it was something that was in progress," section commander Sgt. Dave Camp told The Canadian Press. "It's an awful waste of valuable resources on their part to just let it go for the sake of watching us ... it was the start of something." Engineers used one of their own explosive devices to detonate the bomb, leaving behind a blackened crater and bits of rubble. Roadside bombs made by the Taliban have shown a marked decline in sophistication over the last month, suggesting resources have declined after skirmishes with coalition forces.

Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan
Updated Fri. May. 25 2007 2:43 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff The Canadian soldier who was killed by an improvised explosive device in southern Afghanistan has been identified as Cpl. Matthew McCully. McCully, who was based in CFB Petawawa, was killed while taking part in Operation Hoover -- a large offensive launched against the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. "At approximately 8 a.m. Kandahar time today, one Canadian soldier, a member of our Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team was killed when an improvised explosive device detonated near a combined Afghan-Canadian patrol," Col. Mike Cessford, deputy commander of Canadian forces in Afghanistan, confirmed Friday. The incident occurred approximately 35 kilometres west of Kandahar City in the volatile Zhari district. Operation Hoover is the largest offensive in nearly two months that Canadian troops have participated in. "During this operation the Afghan forces were moving forward, leading this operation to clear some of the areas, making sure that the Afghan people there were secure and that there were no Taliban in the area," said Cessford. "Our mentoring team are comrades-in-arms with the Afghans -- they share the risk, they work closely with them -- and unfortunately as the soldier was moving forward with other Canadians and other Afghan soldiers an IED was triggered and he was killed." He said the Taliban have chosen to bring the fight among the people. "We lost a good kid today and we're thinking about him and our thoughts are going out to the family right now," said Cessford. "He was doing what he needed to do, what he wanted to do, and he was working closely with Afghan soldiers to achieve the right thing for this country." One other Canadian soldier, also a member of the mentoring team, and an Afghan interpreter were wounded in the incident. The injured soldier was evacuated by helicopter to Kandahar Air Field. "The wounds suffered are non-life threatening and he has spoken to his family," said Cessford. "The Afghan interpreter was slightly wounded and chose to remain with Canadians doing his duties." Cessford also said the remains of the fallen soldier were transported by helicopter to Kandahar Air Field. Gen. Rick Hillier, Chief of Defence Staff, said in Toronto Friday that it's never easy dealing with the loss of a soldier. "There's no way you ever get used to it, no way you ever want to get used to it,'' Hillier said. "This is a tough day. ''What we're going to do is make sure that as part of our work his footprint in the sand, if you will, his legacy, will never be forgotten.'' Operation Hoover also includes Portuguese soldiers and British air support but troops from the Afghan National Army (ANA) are taking the lead in the charge. The killed soldier is the 55th Canadian serviceman to die in Afghanistan.

Military confirms Canadian soldier died in crash
Updated Thu. May. 31 2007 1:51 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff The military has released the name of a Canadian soldier killed in a helicopter crash Wednesday in Afghanistan that left a total of seven troops dead. Master Cpl. Darrell Jason Priede was a military photographer from CFB Gagetown, said Brig.-Gen. Tim Grant during a news conference at Kandahar Airfield Thursday. "Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of this wonderful young Canadian. In working to bring peace to this troubled country he has paid the ultimate price," Grant said. "However, we should all remember that Darrell was involved in a good thing, a good fight, and we should be proud of what he has done." Priede was a passenger in the U.S. CH-47 Chinook helicopter when it went down in Helmand province, one of the most volatile regions of the country. The 30-year-old combat cameraman, originally from the Grand Forks area, had served in Afghanistan for just over a month. His mother, Roxanne Priede, said her son wanted to show the good work Canada is doing in the violence-wracked country. "He really wanted to do something that would show more of what the military stood for," Priede told The Canadian Press from her home in Grand Forks, B.C. "When he called us and told us he had actually applied to go over to Afghanistan, he said he wanted to bring home the news of good stuff that was going on over there - the good things Canadians were doing over there." The Prime Minister also extended his sympathies to the Priede family and said the work soldiers like him are doing in the country is of great importance. "The progress achieved in Afghanistan would not have been possible without men and women like Master Corporal Priede who put themselves on the line everyday," Prime Minister Harper said in a statement. "We will not forget Master Corporal Priede's selfless contribution on behalf of Canada." Darrell Jason Priede, who had married a few years ago, entered the military as a gunner in 1996 and later served as a peacekeeper in Bosnia. It was on his second tour in the Balkans that he applied to become a combat cameraman. Lieut. Desmond James, stationed at the Provincial Reconstruction Team base outside Kandahar city, described Priede as a professional who loved his job. The two worked together when Priede documented the work of the various reconstructions missions carried out from the camp. James held back tears as he spoke, telling The Canadian Press that it was hard for him to speak about the friend he lost. Photos that Priede had recently snapped were to be hung in the PRT mess hall on Thursday night. In addition to Priede, five American crew members of the helicopter were killed, along with a British military passenger. Troops have secured the wreckage of the helicopter and are investigating the cause of the crash. Purported Taliban spokesperson Qari Yousef Ahmadi said Taliban militants shot down the helicopter, but the claim has not been independently verified. Initial reports have suggested that the helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, a U.S. official told The Canadian Press. Maj. John Thomas, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force on Thursday, said "there will be a full investigation." "We will try to determine everything that happened and to fully investigate the site." The helicopter went down at about 9 p.m. local time Wednesday, NATO officials said. A rescue team arriving at the scene was then ambushed by insurgents and had to call in air support to ward off the attackers. One Afghan civilian was injured by gunfire. Grant declined to comment on the operation Priede was involved in because the campaign is still underway. He said fighting in Helmand province has been heavy in recent weeks, and troops are working to clear out opposition fighters so that refurbishment of the Kajaki hydroelectric dam, a major development project in the area of the crash, can go ahead. "They are certainly showing now, particularly in the Helmand River valley, that they are trying to make a last stand in this area," Grant said. "At the end of the day, though, they are not being successful. They are being pushed back, they are being defeated by the ISAF forces on the ground." In recent months, violence has centred around the Kajaki Dam area, with U.S. and British forces fighting insurgents targeting the project. CTV's Steve Chao, reporting from Kandahar, said the dam project is a centrepiece in redevelopment efforts in the country. "This is one major project that NATO is hoping will win the hearts and minds down here by providing some stable electricity," Chao told CTV Newsnet. The Chinook has two rotors and is mainly used for transport. It can fit about 40 soldiers in addition to a small crew. Eight U.S. personnel died last February when their Chinook crashed in the southern province of Zabul, but the incident was not the result of a militant attack. Another 10 U.S. soldiers died in a Chinook crash in May 2006, after an attempted nighttime landing. But a 2005 U.S. helicopter crash, which killed 16 Americans, is believed to have been caused by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by militants. In total, 56 Canadian military personnel have now been killed in Afghanistan. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...hub=TopStories |

3 more of the best...God bless 'em..
Three Canadian Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 20, 2007) - Three Canadian soldiers were killed at approximately 8 a.m. Kandahar time today when the vehicle in which they were traveling struck a suspected improvised explosive device on the main road, approximately 40 kms west of Kandahar City. The incident occurred while the soldiers were conducting resupply operations between checkpoints. The names of the casualties are being temporarily withheld at the request of their families. The loss of every soldier is significant and is felt by all members of Joint Task Force Afghanistan. Notwithstanding that, we remain committed to the mission and the idea of peace and stability for the people of Afghanistan. We will not be deterred by the efforts of those who would deny the Afghan people a brighter future.

Moving
It was a very moving experience last Friday night to see the convoy carrying the remains of Darryl Caswell along the 401 from CFB Trenton to CFB Downsview. All along the 401 people gathered on the overpasses to wave Canadian flags and show their support. Fire trucks line up with all their lights flashing. The bridge at Bowmanville even had an elephant from the Bowmanville Zoo drapped in a Canadian flag. Trooper Caswell was born in Bowmanville and was buried there today. OPP officers volunteer to escort the hearse and the family limos. The limos have a diplomatic type flag holder. The convoy drives in the passing lane and no cars pass on the right. Amazing! This is the third convoy I have witnessed and I am really impressed with the show of support from regular citizens.
Cheers, Barry
