Yesterday two more Canadians died in Afghanistan. Corpoal Nicolas Beauchamp of the 5e Field Ambulance and Private Michel Levesque of the Royal 22e Regiment were killed by a roadside bomb, along with their Afghan interpreter, becoming the 72nd and 73rd Canadian soldiers killed in that country.
Every fatality we've suffered in Afghanistan has been a small tragedy, but there is something particularly sad about this particular incident. Private Levesque had just become engaged to his pregnant girlfriend. Corporal Beauchamp's wife is a Canadian military medic who is also serving in Afghanistan with him. And there is the unnamed interpreter who died alongside the troops. You can guarantee that he left grieving relatives.
