Canadian RCASC Ambulance Driver
« on: Saturday 06 May 23 17:46 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to find a way to look up old Canadian service records. I've tried Ancestry, Fold3, Canada Archives, but can't seem to find anything on a relative of mine. Does anybody know of any other websites or perhaps a reason why I can't find any records? Thanks!

You are probably aware - Canadian Attestation Papers were available for WW1

https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/first-world-war/personnel-records/Pages/personnel-records.aspx

WW2 Canadian Records are restricted -  database does not include references to the service files of those who survived the war. Restrictions apply to all those records.

You can request service records from Canada library. I did this for my grandfather. It took a long time but its possible.

British Home Children are very special.

We search for information but it is up to the thread owner to verify that it is correct.
