A Fort Carson soldier died Monday in Afghanistan when his convoy was bombed, the Pentagon announced Wednesday.
Pfc. William L. Meredith, 26, of Virginia Beach, Va., was on the road near Kandahar, Afghanistan, when his vehicle was hit by a roadside explosive. He was assigned to Fort Carson’s 4th Engineer Battalion, which was sent to Iraq earlier this year, then transferred to Afghanistan, where its soldiers work to detect and remove roadside bombs — the favored weapon of insurgents in both conflicts.
