We're just in the midst of filling in information on individuals listed on the Collingwood Cenotaph - and we need your help! If you see a name in red, it means an article has not been started - and it's easy to do.
Just click on the name, select the biography_military_stub_template, and start working away.
For information on the soldiers, there's three really good websites:
Commonweath War Graves Commission: http://www.cwgc.org/.
Canadian Great War Project: http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/index.asp.
Soldiers of the First World War: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/index-e.html.
All you need is the soldier's name, birth and death date, the unit he served in and who his parents were. If you have more info than that (battle details, medal information), add it in. Just be sure to start the article below the widget at the top of the page, and when you're done, update the 'Include Backlinks' widget at the bottom of the page (just click 'edit', then 'embed backlinks' on the dialogue box that comes up).
