A bracelet found in a slit trench in Normandy in 2014 led to the identification of Harry Edward Fox, a Canadian Gunner who fought during the Second World War and returned to Canada. Denis Renaud identified this soldier in 2017 and connected with his family. Harry passed away in 2005. This discovery is a case study for Battlefield Archaeology in Canada.
Denis Renaud is an archaeologist who has been teaching archaeology at the University of Ottawa since 2003.His interest in the military started as a young child and this childhood hobby became his passion. In 2008, his book of short stories about French-Canadian soldiers was published in France. His field of research shifted from his initial specialization in ancient Greece after completing a degree in battlefield archaeology in Paris in 2013. Over the years, he participated in digs in Greece, France, and Canada.
