Borden Battery Posted 11 January , 2006 Share Posted 11 January , 2006 Here is a partial list from the CEF Study Group Recommended Great War websites - Borden Battery Great War Honour Websites - Part 7 [partial list presented here] Note: CEF Study Group member websites denoted with asterisk "*" ============================================== Canadian Book of Remembrance The Books of Remembrance contain the names of Canadians who fought in wars and died either during or after them. All the books are kept in the Memorial Chamber located in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill. The purpose of creating a site that displays these books on the Internet is to make them more accessible to the public. Quite aptly named are these testaments to Canada's past, for by their very title they remind us to never forget the foundations of courage on which Canada is built. http://collection.nlc-bnc.ca/100/200/301/i...ks/remember.htm The Canadian Virtual War Memorial This site contains a registry of information about the graves memorials of more than 116,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders who served valiantly and gave their lives for their country. http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/sub.cfm...ions/virtualmem The Maple Leaf Legacy Project A Project in Remembrance of Canada's War Dead. The aim of the Maple Leaf Legacy Project is to photograph or obtain a photograph of every Canadian War Grave of the 20th Century. These photos will be made freely available on the project's web site. The project relies solely on the kind assistance of the hundreds of volunteers and sponsors around the world to get the photographs or to donate funds to help pay for the good work of the project. The Maple Leaf Legacy Project is a registered charity and can issue charitable tax receipts. http://www.mapleleaflegacy.ca/ . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc leroux Posted 11 January , 2006 Share Posted 11 January , 2006 Andy, In addition to the sites that Borden Battery listed, the Canadian Great War Project includes a searchable database that includes most of the CEF deaths (and a growing number of survivors) marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borden Battery Posted 11 January , 2006 Share Posted 11 January , 2006 Yes, sorry marc, I just did a quick cut-copy-paste from our memorial section and forgot about your great site ... which we list under our General Research topic area. To redress this oversight, here is the CEF Study Group's abstract for marc's site ... Borden Battery *Canadian Great War Project This site is intended to be used to research Canadians who participated in the Great War 1914-1919. The content is primarily database driven to facilitate searches for information. The extensive site is, and will continue to be, a work in progress, and is becoming a collaborative effort among those interested in researching Canada and the Great War. The site is also developing a database of recommended books and websites. The site is hosted by Marc Leroux. http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
