Poetic Obituaries: [Pte. Garrett] Chidley was driving a light armoured vehicle

when was killed by an explosion.

He died along with Calgary Herald reporter Michelle Lang and soldiers Cpl. Zachery McCormack, Sgt. George Miok and Sgt. Kirk Taylor as they travelled through what was thought to be a fairly safe zone outside Kandahar City.

A member of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, Chidley was a licensed aircraft pilot, guitarist and poet.
