Northern Manitoba Soldiers: World War I & World War II

The following soldiers from Northern Manitoba, many of them of Aboriginal origin, served in the Armed Forces during World War I and World War II. Information has been obtained on most of them through the online Attestation Papers, which provide detailed information on each soldier at the time he enlisted. We have organised them by community and plan to add more as we find them.  

Northern Manitoba Communities:

• Berens River
• Camperville
• Cross Lake
• Grand Rapids
• Manigotagan
• Nelson House
• Norway House
• Pelican Narrows
• The Pas
• Wanipigow

For more information on Manitoba Aboriginal veterans, see the Aboriginal Veterans Tribute - Manitoba.
