It is again with great sadness that I must post the name of yet another Canadian soldier who lost his life while serving his country in Afghanistan.
On May 11, 2011, Bombardier Karl Manning became the 156th Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan and the second to be killed in 2011. His body was found Friday at a forward operating base by fellow comrades. An investigation is ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding his death, foul play and enemy action have been ruled out. It appears that Bombardier Manning may have taken his own life, and this just adds to the tragedy. May he find the peace in death that he could not find in life.
156. May 29, 2011 - Bombardier Karl Manning, age 31, 5e Regiment d'artillerie legere du Canada, his remains were discovered by fellow comrades at a forward operating base.
