Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of service files for Non-Permanent Active Militia (NPAM) officers and other ranks. During the First World War, units of the NPAM were called on to perform a variety of military tasks in Canada, notably to guard strategic sites such as armouries, bridges and canals. The files are arranged alphabetically and can include a variety of forms dealing with enlistment, medical and dental history, hospitalization, discipline, pay, discharge and subsequent correspondence relating to the individual's eligibility for war service gratuities and other service-related issues.

Attestation papers are present on a number of the files. Completed at the time of enlistment, the form includes the recruit's name and address, next-of-kin, date and place of birth, occupation, previous military experience and distinguishing physical characteristics.

This sub-series also contains small quantities of exceptional files also: for members of the permanent force, for members of the CEF prior to embarkation overseas, for members of Royal Flying Corps, and for nursing sisters and other members of the Canadian Army Medical Corps.

Although the outside dates for the records are 1908-1983, the vast majority were created during the period 1914-1919.
