The last of four Canadian soldiers killed Thursday in Afghanistan has been identified as Pte. Kevin Dallaire.
He was one of three members of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry who were killed when Taliban militants attacked with rocket-propelled grenades near the village of Pashmul, approximately 25 kilometres southwest of Kandahar City.
The other soldiers killed with Dallaire were Sgt. Vaughn Ingram and Cpl. Bryce Jeffrey Keller. The soldiers were all based in Edmonton.
Ingram was a native of the western Newfoundland town of Burgeo. The hometowns of the other two men have not been released by the Department of National Defence.
Six other Canadians were injured in the attack.
Earlier Thursday, Cpl. Christopher Jonathan Reid of Truro, N.S., was killed near Kandahar when his armoured vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb.
The deaths came as a group of Edmonton-based soldiers begin returning home. The first wave of soldiers will leave from their six-month mission in Afghanistan tonight. Roughly 1,400 soldiers will return to Edmonton over the next few weeks.
