QSAMIKE Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi David......The Canadians do not have Medal Information Cards the way the British do..... They are putting the War Diaries on line but they are not there yet......Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pylon1357 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The LAC is currently working on digitizing all World War One Service Records. They are supposed to have A-D up by the summer 2014 (which we are now into summer) I am awaiting this on pins and needles, as I have 4 soldiers I need to research that fall within this category.
