Does Pier 21 have information about the Canadian soldiers who embarked from and arrived at Pier 21 during the Second World War?
No, the only information that we have from this period is a list of ship names and dates provided by the Canadian government, which describes the comings and goings of ships during the war years. No information about the soldiers on the ships is available at Pier 21. However, it is available from the Personnel Records Unit, Library and Archives Canada, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N4 (fax: 613-947-8456). You should specify that you are requesting information from the Second World War sailing lists and provide identifying details about the soldier (name, date of birth, regimental number).
