The Canadian War Museum has released on its website four new research guides that are designed to help people research topics related to Canadian military history.
The eight-page guides are about:
- Royal Canadian Navy, 1910-1919, 1939-1945, and the Merchant Navy, 1939-1945
- Canadians in the Air, 1914-1945, 1939-1945
- Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1919, and the Canadian Army, 1939-1945
- Canadian Women in Uniform, 1914-1919, 1941-1945
Each guide walks you through the steps of finding where and when someone served, as well as their unit history, culture, important activities or battle honours. The guides include information about training, promotions, medals, injuries and medical treatment, graves and memorials, and the context of a person’s war service.
A link to the guides, called RESEARCH GUIDES — MILITARY PERSONNEL, can be found in the left margin on the museum’s website.
