Are you a descendant of a Russian or Ukrainian man who served in the Canadian Army during the First World War?
William Burianyk first posed a question in 1960: what role was played by Ukrainians in the Canadian Army during the First World War?
Inspired by my grandfather, I am attempting to answer Mr. Burianyk's question. I have been researching for two years now, and have collected over three thousand names of men from Ukrainian regions of what was then Russia, who enlisted in Canada and served in the Great War.
Are you a descendant of one of these veterans? I believe
the stories that can be told about these soldiers is very interesting,
and I want to learn more about their lives. I'm interested in military
records, photos, letters, ephemera, and experiences. The tale has been
told of the Ukrainians forced into internment camps. Now it is time to
talk about the men who fought for Canada.
