Federal War Service Commission of the Churches of Canada : The Federal War Service Commission of the Churches of Canada was organized in November 1918, at a meeting in Toronto. There were representatives present from the War Service Commission of the Church of England in Canada, the Methodist Army and Navy Board, the Presbyterian National Service Commission, the Congregational Military Service Committee, and the Baptist Military Service Board. Throughout its existence there was occasional representation at Commission meetings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Commission was set up to coordinate work among demobilized soldiers, the hospitalized wounded, dependents, and soldiers' widows and orphans. It was voluntarily dissolved in May, 1926. The records are bound in three volumes and consist of correspondence, minutes, and reports of the Commission.
