Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order a Canadian soldier's service record?
Library and Archives Canada holds military service records. Files of individuals who died more than 20 years ago are public; living or recently-deceased individuals' files require next-of-kin authorisation.
Where is the Canadian Virtual War Memorial?
The Canadian Virtual War Memorial on the Veterans Affairs Canada website commemorates Canadians who died in service - searchable by name, regiment, or conflict.
