Borden Battery Posted 10 February , 2007 Share Posted 10 February , 2007 *Canadian Great War Project This massive database and reference website enables one to research Canadians who participated in the Great War – perhaps the first place to begin any serious research. The website is very extensive and the features are beyond a short abstract - the reader should allocate several hours to fully appreciate it. At present there are over 73,000 database records of individual soldiers in the database. Not all entries have full details but these are being built up soldier by soldier. In addition, there is now a “GrandsonMicheal” section which greatly facilitates the access and reading of many of the digitized CEF war diaries. Marc Leroux is always looking for a few dedicated volunteers to assist in expanding the records base.

Borden Battery Posted 11 February , 2007 Author Share Posted 11 February , 2007 Yes, very well done. However, there are many more "gems" on the CEF Study Group List from across the world. Watch for next week ... there will be another very good website. Borden Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borden Battery Posted 18 February , 2007 Author Share Posted 18 February , 2007 Here is the next Recommended Great War Website ... if you spend some time on this site you will notice some very unique organizational features. Borden Battery *The Matrix Project - Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group +++ The Matrix Project is a unique element of the CEF Study Group. Initially developed and hosted on an associated CEF member's website, the project is an integral part of the CEFSG. The Matrix is a web-based database of collective information provided by the CEFSG Members and provides information on all of the structure and components of the CEF during 1914 to 1919. The main CEF Matrix (the Army Corps and Army Troops) is supported by a number of "Utility Functions" for both the inexperienced and seasoned researcher. The Utility Functions are: Matrix Updates, Navigation Chart, Unit Summary Tables, Great War Maps, CEF Study Group Recommended Websites, Common Abbreviations, ORBAT Directory, and War Diary Links. The Matrix presents most of the information in a "loosely defined" Order of Battle [ORBAT] format. In addition, the Matrix Section has re-transcribed Official History of the Canadian Army in the First World War Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1919, Colonel G. W. L. Nicholson, C.D. as a true facsimile of the original document.
