Welcome to the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) Study Group's Matrix Project.  On this site you will be able to follow the development of the matrix to provide information on all of the components of the CEF during the First World War "The Great War" from 1914 to 1919.  This project was initiated in March 2006 as a means to create an authoritative listing of the Canadian units that served in the field in all theatres of the operations.  For a quick check on a specific unit, please refer to the Summary Tables for the Corps and Troops.

If you wish to participate in this project, please visit the web site of the Study Group (CEFSG) and register with the CEFSG Forum.  All questions, comments, corrections are not only welcome but expected.  Please note that the information on the various units described herein is based on the Order of Battle at the end of the Great War in November 1918.  For other periods, please refer to the units in the new "Fluid ORBAT" project.

If you are a "Junior Researcher" starting to look for a relative in the CEF you might want to start with the "Navigation Chart"  for a simple explanation of the structure of the CEF and how this web site is designed.  If you are an advanced researcher and just want to get to the details, you may choose to go direct to the Matrix entry page.
