Each edition of the Maclean’s First World War Centennial Issue featured the name of one of the 66,349 servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives. Since publication, many Canadians have contacted us, seeking more information about a particular individual. In some instances, they want to connect with the living relatives of the man or woman featured on their cover. In others, they’d like to know where a particular cover ended up. In an attempt to facilitate connections, Maclean’s has created a registry for the covers. We will not share your contact information without permission but we will do our best to support our readers’ attempts to connect with the past.
