Have you ever used the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site to locate
those who died in the wars. Site @ www.cwgc.org
or used the Books of Remembrance @
http://epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/200/301/ic/can_digital_collections/books/remember.htm
or the Attestation Papers or under Military Section @
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-500-e.html
or used the 1901 & 1911 Census on line at
http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/index.html

Hope these help
