Sergeant McLennan Finally Identified After 110 Years
from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
After 110 years, a Canadian soldier’s grave in France finally bears his name: Sergeant Norman Harold McLennan, a Cape Breton native who died during the Somme Offensive. Identified in December 2025 by the Canadian Armed Forces, his story was pieced together from scattered records, including distant relatives in Ohio. Enlisted possibly underage in 1905, he vanished in battle on October 8, 1916, and is now honored with a rededication ceremony on that date — a poignant closure for history and his family.
