Soldier's bracelet found after 62 years

January 02, 2007
Canadian Press
EDMONTON ? A long-ago Christmas present lost by a Canadian soldier who fought in one of the closing battles of the Second World War has turned up in a German wood nearly 62 years after the bloody struggle for the Reichswald Forest.

"It looks like an ID bracelet," said Pat Fowler, who is helping track down the rightful owner of the silver bracelet inscribed to Allan O. Edwards. "It's very intriguing."

Fowler and her husband, Don, who run a website dedicated to Canadian soldiers, first heard about the bracelet late last year when they were contacted by a Dutch man who had recently visited the Reichswald Forest on the German side of the Dutch-German border.

The man found the bracelet while combing the woods with his metal detector and contacted the Fowlers in the hope it could be returned to its original owner or his family. . . . . . .

Hi Dean,
Here's the story from diff sources. My dad was in WW2 so those kind of things are always of interest to me. I have a old sword made into a dagger that he brought home - a guy was looking at it with salty fingers once and left a fingerprint. I put some oil on it to try and stop the rust. The case the dagger is in has Germany on it - strikes me a bit odd. Sue
