Want to help?The Canadian Great War Project is a work-in-progress. While we are striving to identify every Canadian man and woman that served, we have quite a ways to go, so if you do not find someone that you are looking for, it is very likely we have not yet entered that person. We are always looking for help in building this database.
About this siteBetween 1914 and 1918, Canada participated in the most devastating war mankind has known. The Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) fought in France and Flanders (Belgium), in battles at Ypres, Passchendaele, the Somme, Hill 70 (Lens), Mount Sorrel, and Vimy Ridge. In 1918 the Canadian contingent spearheaded the drive to end the war, fighting from Amiens and Arras in Northern France, through Cambrai and on to Mons in Belgium, which the Canadians secured on 11 November, 1918.
