Documenting your Ancestors who served in the Canadian Infantry during World War One or World War Two

By Kenneth G. Cox

The purpose of this guide is to provide a study of documents that can be found regarding those who served in the Canadian military between 1914-1918 and 1939-1945. The available documents are listed, discussed, and where to access them is identified. Examples for both world wars are demonstrated with case studies of individual servicemen.

This book is a research guide for those seeking documents relating to the war experience of those who stepped up when the call to arms came. It does not address the causes of the wars, the battles fought, nor the ramifications of the peace that finally resulted in the end of hostilities.
