Burial/memorial information
Son of Gaétan and Diane Dallaire of Calgary, Alberta. Brother of Private Mikael Dallaire.
Mentioned in dispatches (posthumous) 25 October 2006, "Pte Dallaire was deployed with 9 Platoon, C Company, 1 PPCLI Battle Group during Operation ARCHER Rotation 1. On August 3, 2006, during combat operations in the Pashmul region of Afghanistan, he exposed himself to great personal risk to provide cover fire for his section. Traversing an open field under enemy fire, Pte Dallaire directed his section to keep moving until it reached its destination safely while he provided cover fire. His actions reflect the highest standard of his regiment and the Canadian Forces." Sacrifice Medal (posthumous)
