∼Sergeant with the 1st Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, based in Edmonton, AB. Aged 35. He is survived by his wife Ann-Marie and two daughters; his parents, Clayton and Linda Ingram; his brother, Master Cpl. Chad Ingram of 8 Wing Trenton, his brother Stacey and sister Joann Peyton. Sgt Ingram grew up in Burgeo, NL.
Sgt Ingram, Cpl Bryce Keller and Pte Kevin Dallaire were killed and six other Canadian soldiers injured as the result of a rocket-propelled grenade attack by Taliban militants near the village of Pashmul, approximately 25 kilometres south west of Kandahar City, Afghanistan. The men were only weeks from completing their six-month tours and returning to Canada.
The funeral service for Sgt Ingram, held Aug 13, 2006 in Burgeo, was closed to the media at the family's request. Officials said both Ingram's wife and mother were presented with a Memorial Cross. His mother received the flag that covered Ingram's coffin when it left Afghanistan.
The ceremony continued at the town's cenotaph, where Sgt Ingram's medals and beret were given to his five-year-old daughter. Another flag was presented to his 13-year-old daughter.
On June 4, 2008 Sgt Ingram received a posthumous award of Mention in Dispatches.
A mention in dispatches, marked by a small bronze oak leaf attached to a service medal, recognizes "valiant conduct, devotion to duty or other distinguished service".
