Milton Soldiers in the World Wars

Collections Canada - Records of Soldiers of the World Wars

Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group: Matrix Project

Their is a vast amount of information on Soldiers of the Great War 1914-1919 that is available on-line, far surpassing the short list of connections to Canadian resources noted above.  There is very little on-line information related to World War II Soldiers, as many of the soldiers are still alive and the census information and service records are still protected by privacy legislation.
