WW1 Canadian War Diaries

I’ve gathered together individual war diary pages into larger PDF documents. Below you’ll find a list of the diaries I often refer to. They’ve saved me time and I thought they might benefit you as well. Please note some of these files are very large.

  1. Thanks Eric. After downloading the individual jpg files I combined them using a macro app on my Mac (it basically combined image files into a single PDF document). Do you have a Mac?
