On September 14, 1944, Kenneth Donald Duncanson was killed during intense fighting in Belgium during WWII. The Algonquin Regiment, to which he belonged was forced to retreat and in the chaos, Duncanson’s body was left in the Belgian field where he fell. Duncanson’s body remained lost until November 2014, when a hobbyist discovered his remains using a metal detector.
