I can tell you that the Canadian Government has had a "military veteran's memory project " for about 30 years, to record and save personal audio interviews with men who served in the Canadian military in both of the World wars, and Korea.

Link to it here.

Second War here. http://www.thememoryproject.com/stories/WWII

Canada also has the most complete archive of WW1 materials of all the nations that were involved. We have the military records of every one of the men that served in the CEF, all on digital records, available on line to any one that is interested .

And finally here is a suggestion for a book.

Ghosts have warm hands . by Will Bird, who was a Canadian soldier during the Great War. He was a perceptive and observant man. His book is required reading in many Canadian history courses. It is still available as a used book on Amazon.ca

"Ghosts Have Warm Hands" by Will R. Bird provides a starkly frank memoir from the point of view of an ordinary Canadian Soldier.

I also went to great lengths to ensure the story and character's combat experiences within "Killing is a Sin" was as authentic as possible.
