In April 2007 as part of the Vimy 90th Anniversary, the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group (CEFSG) undertook a project to commemorate the valiant action of all of the men and women who participated in the battle that made Canada a Nation. Leading up to April 9, 1917 thousands of soldiers, doctors, engineers, nurses, clerks, cooks, labourers and others participated in the planning for and execution of this incredible feat. To commemorate their action, our group assembled the individual pages of the war diaries for the many units that made up the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) at that time. The war diaries you will read at each link are the real thing, actual diaries kept by each unit that tell their tale in chilling detail. This is their story from April 9th to April 14th. The War Diaries are available for download from Library and Archives Canada. This document has active PDF hyperlinks to take you directly to each archived war diary page.
