War Diaries of the First World War (Canada)
[This database contains the digitised War Diaries of
the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) units.
From the start of the First World War, CEF units were
required to maintain a daily account of their “Actions
in the Field.” This log was called a War Diary.
The War Diaries are not personal diaries, rather they are
a historical record of a unit’s administration,
operations and activities during the First World War. ]
