Archive CD Books Canada Inc. is pleased to help to spread the following message. Please note that the Great War Project is completely non-commercial. We are only passing on this message because one of the project's founders is a friend and has loaned us some of his books on the Great War. The message is: Have you ever walked by an old War Memorial and wondered what the story was behind the names? Or possibly you have taken the time to investigate the faded names on the stone or bronze plaques but have been unable to share them with others. The beginning of the Great War was just over 90 years ago, and Canadian soldiers first saw action in early 1915. We would like to challenge people to take the time to research their local War Memorial and record what they find at the Canadian Great War Project. The Canadian Great War Project [http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com] endeavours to commemorate all those who served in the First World War, those who died and those who survived. With the availability of the attestation papers from World War 1 on-line, courtesy of Library and Archives Canada http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/02010602_e.html we can tie in the details from them with the names of those on the Memorials. Already, the Canadian Great War Project has put up several Memorials illustrating what can be done http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/Memorials/memorialMain.asp What we're after is a photo of the Memorial plus close-ups of the plaques showing the names of those recorded on it. Then we invite you to add the details of what you have found to the existing collection of men and women already on the site. While the site is dedicated primarily to the memory of the First World War, we do not want to neglect those who may have died in later (or earlier) wars, so ask you to include them as well. We look forward to you taking up the challenge! The Great War Project. PLEASE SEND ALL REPLIES TO THIS MESSAGE TO [email protected] NOT TO THE RETURN ADDRESS ON THIS POSTING, OR TO THE LIST.
