In Depth: Remembrance Day (cbc.ca)

There's a great summary about the origins and history of Remebrance Day at the CBC News website.

In addition, the CBC News site contains a list of sites dedicated to Military history, memorials and a vast amount of resources available on-line, published by government, museums and individuals. As cbc.ca states, "Together, they provide rich detail about the events of war, and also provide a portrait of a soldier's life".

Finally, at the same site, you can link to a CBC News Archive entitled
"Canada Remembers: CBC Archives looks back at Canada's role in the First World War".

It's all at http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/remembranceday/ and http://archives.cbc.ca/IDD-1-71-2425/conflict_war/firstworldwar/
