Archeologists, veterans uncover soldier’s remains at Waterloo

STORY BY STEPHEN J. THORNE

An international team of archeologists and military veterans has uncovered the remains of what is believed to have been a soldier killed at the 1815 Battle of Waterloo—a rare find on what was one of history’s bloodiest battlefields.

The complete skeleton was discovered in a former gully alongside the remnants of ammunition boxes, medical waste and amputated limbs.

The fight for Lake Ontario

STORY BY SHARON ADAMS

During the War of 1812, before roads connected large cities in North America, the sea, lakes and rivers served as highways.

Troops, armaments and supplies could most easily be moved long distances by ship.

DIEPPE 80 YEARS AFTER: THE JUNO BEACH CENTRE’S EXHIBITION FROM DIEPPE TO JUNO

10 August @ 7:30 pm ET

CLICK HERE to register
The Dieppe Raid is shrouded in controversy and tragedy. For decades, it dominated Canadians’ collective memory of the war. Considered a tragic failure since 1942, its story is as complex as it is nuanced. The presentation will explore the challenges of putting together an exhibition on a subject of failure in a place of victory like Juno Beach. It will also explore our evolving understanding of the raid, its links to Juno Beach on D-Day and the liberation of Dieppe in September 1944 as well as its place in Canada’s collective memory of the Second World War.

Canada’s History Archive featuring The Beaver

Please note: Some items featured in our newsletters and social media will include links to the Canada’s History Archive. The Beaver magazine was founded, and for decades was published, during eras shaped by colonialism. Concepts such as racial, cultural, or gender equality were rarely, if ever, considered by the magazine or its contributors. In earlier issues, readers will find comments and terms now considered derogatory. Canada’s History Society cautions readers to explore the archive using historical thinking concepts — not only analyzing the content but asking questions of who shaped the content and why.
