I am researching my family history of the Venables family. My grandmother's name was Florence Emily Venables as she chose Emily to be her first name. My grandfather's name was Ralph Edward Venables and he belonged to the 50th Battalion and enlisted on February 2, 1915. I just found this site this evening and I am very excited to find it. I will add a dear photo of my grandfather in the near future.		2/3/2012	Teresa Schwindt (grand daughter) of Ralph Edward Venables
931525 Robert Owens This is incredible. I was searching the address for the house that my husband and I recently purchased and came across this link. This man was obviously the original owner/builder of my house as it was built in 1916. It is strange the dates that we hav in common. My birthday is March 3 1980 his was March 1783 He was 33 when building this house, my husband is 33 when we bought the house. We received the keys on September 16 2011 he enlisted on September 14 1916. Thank you so much for sharing this detail. :)		1/22/2012	Jenny Henry
Walter William Rippin was my grandfather. He died in 1937 in Calgary. Your website has his wife's name as Wilfred. Her correct name was Mildred.		1/20/2012	Walt Glanville

Thank you very much for this information. My cousin is going to visit Italy and my mom is asking her to take a photo of my grandfather's grave. Without this site, we only knew he was buried somewhere in Italy. Now we even have his plot number.		1/17/2012	Wendy
Charles William Burke was my Grandmother's Uncle. He died upon retuning from the war. I have pictures of him and would be happy to provide them if anyone is interested.		1/14/2012	Lisa Alessio
Private John Stewart 1st Bt CEF who Died from wounds on April 13, 1916, from Merritton, Ontario was my grandfathers brother of whom we had very little knowledge. Thanks for allowing us to at least know what happened to him. (husband of Isabella Frew White). Scottish born but from Merritton, Ontario when enlisting. Great respect by you Canadian people to produce this site and project, they are too busy making money from genealogy in the UK to even contemplate doing the same here, if a man or woman makes the supreme sacrifice then its only right they should be remembered in such a way that others dont make money out of it.		1/9/2012	Alan Stewart
I have recently been conducting a family history search and stumbled upon this site accidentally. My Grandfather was from the 145th Battalion; Raymond Frank Bernard. He survived the war but died about 1926 when my mother was only three years old. Until this document was found I really did not have any information about him. I hope to locate a photo. It would be interesting to discover more about him and his life as a young man during the war. He enlisted at 18 in 1916.		1/8/2012	Laurel
RE: Sapper Martin Henry Jervis, 11th Batt. Canadian Engineers, CEF (Regt. No. 5399) This entry refers to my great uncle, after whom I was named, who had only emigrated to Canada early in 1914. My grandfather, Frank Jervis, also served in WWI (with the British Army), ending his service as a captain in the Royal Flying Corps (later RAF). According to family tradition, Martin Henry was wounded at the Somme but returned to his unit, rather than take an honourable discharge. His death, on 2 September 1918, deeply scarred my family and my grandfather never quite got over his brother's death so near the end of the War. I am extremely pleased that I have finally found some tangible record of my great uncle and would like to thanks those responsible for placing this information on the net. As an historian who teaching WWI to undergraduates, I find this approach to be both entirely appropriate and fitting, in the pursuit to recreate the past in an authentic way. many thanks.		1/8/2012	Dr. Martin R. Jervis
