THE CANADIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE

STUDY GROUP

 

Welcome to the CEF Study Group!


We are a group of enthusiasts with an interest in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) and their role in the First World War. The interests here are broad: Family History/Genealogy, Military History, Weapons/Equipment, Tactics, Militaria Collecting etc.

 

If you are new to this and are curious as to where to begin to research a Family Member, you may want to try our page designed with the newcomer in mind!

If you have already started your research, or want to learn more about what tools are available to do your research, or what other researchers are doing, you may also wish to check out our CEF Study Group Forum:

There is no cost to register and as soon as you complete that simple step, feel free to post a question on the Forum where you will find some of the most knowledgeable and friendliest people on the Internet.  If you are not yet ready to register, please just "browse the site" and see what we are doing.

 

If you are just starting to research the Canadian Expeditionary Force, or trying to find out where your grand relative fits in the "overall picture" of Canada's military in the Great War, then you can visit our newest project:

Once inside the Matrix you will find information on the structure of the CEF, details that are being assembled by members on individual units; links to and transcriptions of war diaries; and a host of utilities (definitions, reference lists, abbreviations, map links and summary tables).

 

Please do not hesitate to make suggestions and submit your own research that you would like to see posted here on this site. This is very much a group effort and the more contributing members we have, the greater this site will be!

 

Thank you for stopping by,
