What It Is
This database is a searchable collection of biographical information on those Jewish veterans of the First and Second World Wars who have a significant connection to southern Alberta.It refers to veterans who were either born in southern Alberta, or who called southern Alberta their home for a significant amount of time.
Using this database, you can search for veterans’ names, birth places, areas served in, battles fought, decorations awarded, and many other pieces of information. You can also make more complex searches for statistical information, such as how many Jewish veterans from Calgary served in the RCAF, or enlisted in Lethbridge. We seek to honour all applicable Jewish veterans: of all nationalities, branches and countries of military service, theatres of conflict, and roles played in the World Wars. We hope that it will be an invaluable aid to scholarly researchers and family genealogists alike.
