While these digitized microfilms are not searchable by name, they are viewable and browsable from this link (in this link, you will need to use the Expand function under the Personnel Records of the First World War heading to see the details for the records relating to indigenous solders):
When searching for military print items in our library catalogue use keywords such as “soldiers – Canada”, “soldiers - Canada - indexes”, or “soldiers -location- registers”. A sample from our collection here:
