Hi Lynda et al,

The details of Canadian Service Records for WWI can be found at:

http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/general/sub.cfm? source=collections/virtualmem

This is a search machine which will check for details of WWI servicemen
by entering the Surname and either Christian name, or initials.
That will give you the details of service number and rank etc. If they died
in action then the date of death and in some cases details of parents.

On my website at

http://www.execulink.com/~sjwright/home2.htm

I have a memorial section to a cousin who died in France in 1918. This section
of my website contaians other links for WWI data.

Hope this helps....................StU:
