Michael Thierens
(Grandson Michael
The Netherlands)
has undertaken to search the on-line War Diaries of Library
and Archives Canada (Ottawa,
Ontario) using a
unique extraction program written by Marc
Leroux. This is in addition to the mass project to
transcribe a number of the battalion war diaries that is being
undertaken by the CEFSG War Diary Users Group (see
this posting).
As work progresses on the
Matrix, we will move many of these war diary references to
their appropriate place under the Army Corps or Army Troops.
In the interim, you will find what is needed in the links
shown in the navigation bar at the top of this page.
UPDATE

Grandson
Michael has submitted the FINAL war diary transcriptions for
the 7th
Infantry Brigade Headquarters as well as the Princess
Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. These have been added to
the above table. A great advancement in the process –
well done!
UPDATE

Grandson
Michael has prepared an update list of the war diary
transcriptions that are in progress. That was posted
this date to the CEFSG Forum.
UPDATE
FEBRUARY 12, 2007:
We
have got our first War Diary transcription and so these are
now posted to the Matrix. As more are submitted, they
will be posted here as well. The format is to post them
to the TRANSCRIBED
directory
and in the format of

These
files are now in the Matrix War Diary Transcription folder
located above.

undertaking this great project.
