WW1 soldiers research

Hi Chris,

Maybe Archivianet hasn't uploaded those pages as yet. I think that their "project" of uploading attestation papers is an ongoing one still ... but not certain of that.

I can't remember if the site shows the soldiers service numbers even if the papers aren't uploaded yet. Can people visiting the Archives in Ottawa do a lookup for you (using the service number)by checking records in person to see what info may be in that soldiers file to verify if he could be your grandfather ... just a thought
