Library and Archives Canada announced it completed the digitization of 620,000 World War I personnel files—30 million images-- marking Canada’s 100 days. August 8, 1918 is known as the beginning of Canada’s 100 days, “when the Canadian Corps spearheaded attacks that became known as the Battle of Amiens, a major turning point that led to victory in the Great War and the Armistice of November 11”. This marks the centennial of the end of the first World War. To read more about this see: http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/news/Pages/2018/First-World-War-database-completed.aspx.
Included in the database are files of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF)—Soldiers, Nurses and Chaplains; non-permanent active militia files, Imperial War Service Gratuity Files and more.

Digitizing the First World war personnel records is the largest project to date, undertaken by the Library and Archives Canada.
