Development of the Web Site Matrix:

The web site has been reconstructed to split out the major components of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.  Click on "The CEF Organization" here or in the menu bar to begin with the organization of the CEF, which looks at both the Army Corps and the Army Troops.

A Site Index has now been added so you can move quickly to your final destination if you are not "just browsing".  The site index is also accessible from the footer links on every page of the web site.

Development of the War Diary Transcripts:

Extracted war diary listings from Library and Archives Canada, as prepared by Michael Thierens using the program developed by Marc Leroux, are being sorted and filed on each specific unit page.  This is a "work in progress" and is discussed in detail in the War Diaries User Group page on the CEFSG Forum.

Also now noted on the site are the units for which a member or members of the CEFSG are working (IP - in progress) on war diary transcripts, thanks to Michael Thierens recent listing.  Links to that Library and Archive War Diaries (WD Link) have now been added to the individual pages, in addition to being present on the summary table. 

Development of the Matrix Utilities: 

The Matrix Utilities is a separate component of the overall matrix and provides a number of useful tools to make your visit to the matrix more enlightening.  At present you will find utilities that allow you to register for site notifications, the navigation chart to guide you on your way, a summary table of all the CEF Battalions, the most comprehensive list of Great War web site links, an extensive listing of abbreviations and acronyms, access to the ORBAT information, and the master pages for web site submissions.  Each of these are described in detail on the main utility page.
