Need Help Using this Site? Questions?
I've just finished writing a Users' Manual for this site which hopefully will help everyone get more out of it. It's in PDF format, so you will need Adobe Reader to access it. If it isn't already on your computer (it usually is), you can download Adobe Reader safely and for free by clicking the link.

Kenora and Canadian Great War Project
We are currently at work with the Kenora and Canadian Great War Project teams to present a group here featuring biographies of all resident Kenora veterans of WWI.
The group is still under construction with new pages going up almost daily, so please bear with us if you don't see your veteran's name just yet!
