Hints for searching

If you are looking for a specific name, and know the name or possibly the regimental number, please use the Soldier Search by Regimental Number or Name page. This is a much more efficient way of locating names.

The keyword search will try to find a match using the following fields

• Regimental Number
• First name
• Last Name
• Regiment
• Unit (Battalion)
• Place of birth
• Notes

Entering, for example "Tully Wallace Anderson" will match "Tully Wallace" on the first name, "Anderson" on the family name.

Entering "Anderson 44th" will match "Anderson" on the family name, 44th on the unit.

Entering "44th 31st" will find all members of the 44th Battalion, 31st battalion and because it is a character based search, the 144th Battalion.

Selecting the Search Type of "Any Words" will find records with either "Tully" or "Anderson" matching

Selecting the Search Type of "All Words" will find records with all words matching

Selecting the Search Type of "Exact Phrase " will find records with that combination of words. For examplle, entering "Tully Anderson" in either of the other two cases will find a match, but "Exact Phrase" will not return any records.

Order By Unit or Name (default) will sort the records output

Records per page will restrict the number of returned records on any single page.

Some notes. In most cases the Canadian Regimental names, such as "Loyal Edmonton Regiment" or the "Eastern Ontario Regiment" have been normalized to the official battalion numbers that the Canadians went overseas with. For example, the "Eastern Ontario Regiment" would likely be in the database as the "2nd Battalion".

Try not to make the searches too restrictive. Adding too many words means that you may miss the record you are looking for.
