The National Registration File of 1918

During WW1 National Registration was held throughout Canada. All individuals over the age of 16 were required to register on 22 June 1918. Questions asked included name, address, age, date and country of birth, citizenship, year of immigration, marital status, state of health and occupation. Every individual was then issued with a Registration Card which they were required to carry with them at all times. Unfortunately the forms filled out and collected were not kept. If you are lucky enough to find a Registration Card for this time period, treasure it.
