CFB TRENTON, Ont. — Two Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan have returned to Canada.
A military plane carrying the remains of Master Cpl. Kristal Giesebrecht and Pte. Andrew Miller arrived at CFB Trenton, in eastern Ontario, this afternoon.
Giesebrecht, 34, and Miller, 21, died on Saturday when a roadside bomb exploded near Kandahar City.
A motorcade with their caskets will travel along the Highway of Heroes to Toronto, and the Route of Heroes in the city to the coroner’s office.
The two medical technicians were serving with the Task Force Kandahar Health Services Unit.
With their deaths, 150 members of the Canadian Forces members have died in the Afghan mission that began in 2002.
