A military dog tag lost a century ago will be returned to the soldier's family after it was unearthed from a garden in France and discussed on an internet forum.
Canadian Gunner Harold Kerr fought in the battle of Vimy Ridge in Northern France in 1917, a costly victory for Canada during World War I.
His great-niece, Cynthia Kerr, now lives in Victoria, Australia, and had always wondered about the story of her ancestor.
Gunner Kerr was fatally wounded by a shell near Amiens on June 26, 1917.
His war medals were returned to family, but they believed the dog tag had been lost to history, until a search on a war history forum turned up a surprising result.
