CBC reported yesterday that a Steinbach, Manitoba anitque store owner has successfully located the family of the two soldiers connected to a 102-year-old letter found in a pile of papers.
Spoiler alert: All parties concerned want the letter to go a museum because both families have claim to it. The hope is to get the letter displayed at the visitor education centre of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France, and the antique store owner has been in contact with someone from the Canadian military about making it happen.
Here’s the report and the first part of the story in my blog post, Antique store owner looking for descendants of soldier who wrote letter in 1917.
