In 2020 the body of a Canadian soldier from the Great War was found in the area of Hill 70 in France. He’s been identified as Albert Henry Detmold who was from my home town, Roblin Mb.

Detmold attested in the same regiment as my Grandfather, the 107th, and they no doubt knew each other and served together early before my Grandfather joined the 16th.

Detmold died at Hill 70 in the same area as my Grandfather earned the Military Medal. https://www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/human-remains-in-france-identified-as-manitoba-soldier-killed-in-first-world-war/

@NunavutBirder that’s quite something to think about, how their paths crossed for a time, and how this man’s remains lay where he fell for so long.
