CEF War Diaries - COMPLETED - very many thanks!

[AngelaR]

I think I'm losing it! Last week while on holiday, I found the WW1 diaries for various CEF regiments. Not indexed but I browsed through to July 1917 and found my great uncle mentioned as having died from wounds.

I was sure it was Ancestry I found this on, but now I'm at home, no amount of searching is showing it up. I know I didn't dream it, so if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot

That looks like the dscription I read before, jds1949 - thanks!

I think I'm being a bit thick though as I can't see the actual files. I know I had to browse them....

Hi Angela,

I think this should bring up the actual diaries

http://data4.collectionscanada.gc.ca/netacgi/nph-brs?s1=4th+battalion&s13=&s12=&l=20&s9=RG9&s7=9-52&Sect1=IMAGE&Sect2=THESOFF&Sect4=AND&Sect5=WARDPEN&Sect6=HITOFF&d=FIND&p=1&u=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/archivianet/02015202_e.html&r=1&f=G

And no, it's not you, I couldn't get from the first site to the second either - luckily I'd bookmarked the actual diaries elsewhere!

Hi jds1949

THAT'S THEM 

Thank you so very much. Now to copy the bit about Great Uncle Fred, together with the reference this time....

Thank you for your kind words too. At my age, when I can't find things like that I do start to worry

Angela,

Have you also tried looking for him on the Circumstances of Death and War Grave Registers? I haven't yet found an easy way of searching either, but there is a link to both on this page:

Thanks Phil!

Just found him on the circumstances of death register - certainly never seen those before. I shall do some more exploring on that site 

Thanks again
