A whistle, a pocket watch and DNA analysis helped a Canadian Forces forensic team identify the remains of a Vancouver soldier more than 100 years after he died in France.
This photo, provided in a news release from the federal government, shows a whistle and a pocket watch that helped identify the remains of a Canadian WWI soldier.
Howarth was 23 years old when he fought with the 7th Canadian Infantry Battalion in the Battle of Hill 70 near Lens, France, in August 1917, and was presumed to have died in the fight. “We have to consider all of the units that went through that specific area of the battlefield of the Battle of Hill 70,” she said.
Then began the hunt for living relatives of those soldiers on the short list who would be willing to have their DNA tested.In order to confirm or rule out Howarth, experts had to find someone living from his maternal line.
