Andrew Doiron, Canadian soldier killed in Iraq, to be buried today

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 14 Maret 2015 | 22.40

Sgt. Andrew Doiron, the first Canadian soldier killed in the current deployment to Iraq, will be buried today at Ottawa's Beechwood National Military Cemetery.

The special forces adviser was shot and killed by Kurdish Peshmerga on March 6 in what's been described as a case of "mistaken identity" by Defence Minister Jason Kenney.

Doiron, 31, and his special forces colleagues were returning to an observation post at night when Kurdish fighters began shooting. Three other soldiers were also injured.

A repatriation ceremony was held on Tuesday at CFB Trenton as Doiron's body returned to Canada.

On Saturday, Doiron is being remembered by friends and family at the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica in Ottawa before his ashes are buried at the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces.

The funeral procession began at the cemetery at 10:30 a.m. ET and proceeded to the church for the 11 a.m. service, according to Ottawa police. The procession is then scheduled to return to the cemetery at 12:15 p.m. ET for the burial.

Members of the public were asked to line St. Patrick Street and Beechwood Avenue as the procession travels to and from the church.

Doiron was from Moncton, N.B., and he was based at Garrison Petawawa, Ont. He is the first Canadian soldier to die during the current Iraq deployment, which began in the fall of 2014.
