PRINCE ALBERT — Hundreds of Canadian military personnel stood at attention and saluted as a flag-draped casket carrying Pte. Shaun Farrell was escorted into the armoury in Prince Albert, Sask.
The 23-year-old was one of four soldiers killed last month, when a grass fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta overtook troops in a training exercise.
Farrell was remembered as a close friend, a great soldier and a loving son during the hour-long funeral.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe also spoke, saying Farrell was taken too soon and that the entire province is grieving.
Members of Farrell’s unit were encouraged to place their Remembrance Day poppies on his photo as they left the service.
The other soldiers killed in the fire were: Pte. Aidan Goulding, 23, of North Vancouver; Pte. Hayden Lykkemark, 19, of Langley, B.C.; and Sgt. Morgan Wong, 26, of Edmonton.
