In 2018 the McGill Remembers Project was able to verify the complete 1926 1914-1918 Honour Roll
fatality section. Corrections were made using currently available
resources - primarily the war service personnel files, Library and
Archives Canada. As well missing information - that is, unknown in 1926
- was also added as well as additional information. The new data has
allowed the first statistical profile of those fatalities.
