Many of us have a WW1 father, grandfather, or great-grandfather or other relative who enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during World War 1. Following are links to help you find more information about a WW1 ancestor.

The Canadian Virtual War Memorial is an online searchable database of all soldiers killed in the First and Second World War. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission assisted in making these records available to Veteran’s Affairs Canada.
