Since 1928, Legion Magazine has honoured those Canadians who have
served their country by publishing in print short death
notices for Royal Canadian Legion members with military
backgrounds, Canadian war veterans and Legion members with
police service. With the advent of the Internet, we have
created as a historical archive for your free use a Last
Post database that
goes back to February 1990.
It contains over 115,000 names, but this number will rise
as further entries are published in print and added to the
collection twice a year. We will gradually go back further
in time as our resources permit.
