War

Canada has a rich history of involvement in various wars, including both World Wars, the Korean War, and the Afghanistan War. As such, there are numerous documents related to war that are of historical significance in Canada. These documents include official records such as military service records, war diaries, and battle reports, as well as personal letters, photographs, and other mementos that provide insights into the experiences of soldiers and civilians during wartime. Many of these documents are preserved in archives and museums across the country, where they serve as important resources for researchers, historians, and the general public interested in learning about Canada's role in conflicts throughout its history.
