100th Anniversary of the End of the First World War

The First World War raged for four years from 1914-1918. On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the Great War, the ‘war to end all wars,’ came to an end.[1]

100 years later, the Culbert Family History blog plans to commemorate Culbert descendants who served during WW1. On 11 November 2018, I'll publish a list of their names.

Off the top of my head, I know of several names. Surely, there must be more. So if you would like to add your relative's name to the list, please let me know by Wednesday, November 7th. Include a photo, if possible and any details about them that you might like to add.

Not sure if your relative served in WW1? You can check by searching the Canadian military personnel records of the First World War Database. This database is the largest digitization project that Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has ever undertaken, and is a valuable resource for Canadians.
