Nominal Roll Collections

The Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group (CEFSG) is honoured to have become the beneficiary of a significant number of Nominal Rolls of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.  As of this date, we have a near complete collection of the Nominal Rolls of the Infantry Battalions, as well as a number of other Army Corps and Corps Troops units.

The Graham Stewart Collection:

This CEFSG project was initiated with the submission of a partial collection by Graham Stewart of the Great War Forum. These rolls were made available to all Great War Researchers by posting them on the Internet Archive site (http://www.archive.org) in a standard format. Each available nominal roll is listed in the table, with a hyperlink to the existing file. In addition to the rolls initially submitted by Graham Stewart, you will now see many other rolls provided by other CEFSG members. Each contributor or identified in the table on the index page.

The Bob Richardson Collection:

In December 2008 the nominal roll resource was significantly increased with the addition of the collection of CEFSG Member Bob Richardson. To date, this collection consists of 377 individual Nominal Rolls. With this vast amount of information, the task to upload all of these to the Internet Archive would have been daunting.  Although this may still happen, the files have also been loaded to a MediaFire account so they are immediately available to researchers world wide.

If any Great War Researchers have additional nominal rolls, or better quality versions of the rolls, we would be most appreciative if you could provide a copy for this project.  What have been made available to date are "best available copies" and some of these have columns or rows that are less than perfect.

Our sincere thanks to Graham, Bob and the many other members who have now made these files for everyone to share!
