Canadian Virtual War Memorial

The Canadian Virtual War Memorial (CVWM) is a registry to honour and remember the sacrifices of the more than 118,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders who, since Confederation, have given their lives serving in uniform. The names of fallen soldiers found in the CVWM are also inscribed in the seven Books of Remembrance.

The RCMP's Honour Roll remembers those who lost their lives in the performance of operational police functions. The names of fallen RCMP members found in the CVWM are also inscribed in the RCMP Honour Roll Book. For inquiries regarding the names and information found in the RCMP Honour Roll, email honours_recognition@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
