Please use the field below to search the Military Service Files. Please note that content to the database is being updated daily.
The goal of the database on the newly revised Newfoundland Regiment and The Great War Virtual Exhibit is to include all Regiment soldiers with their complete military service files (when available).
However scanning and uploading files is a lengthy process. Files previously found on-line may be temporarily unavailable. Alternately, names previously not included will become accessible.
Researchers are advised to revisit the site over the coming year to determine if the file they seek has been uploaded. If it is not available, please contact the Provincial Archives Reference Room for access until it is added to the website’s database
