Pre-First World War Military Records Except for the South African War, detailed personnel records for the Canadian military were not kept prior to the First World War. Earlier records consist mainly of muster rolls and paylists, which contain little or no personal information. As most are not indexed, the regiment must be known before you can attempt a search. If you know your ancestor's place of residence, you might find references to his service in the militia rolls for that county. Most of these lists are found within our Department of Militia and Defence series (RG 9), parts of which are available on microfilm. The National Archives does hold some service files for members of the Canadian forces who served during the South African War (RG 38). Those records, which are arranged in alphabetical order, are available on microfilm through the inter-institutional loan arrangement. Medal registers (RG 9 II A 5) exist for the Fenian Raids (1866, 1870), the Red River Rebellion (1870), the North West Rebellion (1885) and the South African War (1899-1902). |
