2 more Canadian soldiers killed in roadside bomb blast in Afghanistan

Source: Canadian Press

Tears streaked the faces of normally stoic Canadian soldiers Sunday as they carried the bodies of two young comrades to their final journey home.

Cpl. Christian Bobbitt, 23, and another unnamed soldier were killed Saturday in a roadside bomb blast.

Bobbitt was a member of the 5th Combat Engineer Regiment, based in Valcartier, Que. The men had been in Kandahar since March, as part of the 2e Batallion of the Royal 22e Regiment, or the Van Doos.

Another soldier was seriously wounded but was in stable condition in hospital Sunday.

The Vandoos are really taking a hit this year.
