Canada at War: A Guide to Library and Archives Canada Websites Recalling the Canadian War Experience commemorates Canadian sacrifice in all wars and military actions, but particularly those lost in the First World War. Veterans Week 2011 marks the 93rd anniversary of the armistice ending the First World War. Please visit Canada and the First World War for more information on the subject.

For more information on the role of Canadian Forces during the Second World War, please visit our virtual exhibition Faces of War.

Success on D-Day and in the battles that followed came at a price: there are more than 5,400 Canadian graves in Normandy. But their sacrifice was not in vain. The victories won there paved the way to victory on May 8, 1945. For more information on D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, visit www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/feature/d-day/history.
