The Canadian Virtual War Memorial (CVWM)

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 inscribed in the seven Books of Remembrance.

The Canadian Virtual War Memorial also includes the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)’s Honour Roll. The RCMP Honour Roll remembers those who lost their lives while performing operational police functions.
