Gloucester has now recorded its first soldier killed in Iraq.
Specialist E-4 Eric Thomas Caldwell, 22, formerly of Gloucester, was killed in combat Sunday in Iraq. He was scheduled to return home this weekend.
The soldier’s mother, Vanessa Caldwell of Gloucester, said she was notified of her son’s death Sunday evening by casualty officers from Fort Eustis, shortly after she returned from having dinner with family members. She said her son died a hero during a small arms attack, but details of the incident were not yet available and it was still under investigation.
