Legion Magazine: Last Post: Dealth Notices. Most info here relates to servicement who passed away after January, 1989.
For a transcript of a veteran who served in the Second world War you can send away to Archives Canada for copies of their service records. Should you need help getting them let me know and I will guide you through the process.
This is a short list. There is a great deal of information out there.

Also keep in mind that for both World Wars you might also have to access British records as it was not unusual for servicemen to be loaned out to the different services. My uncle, for example was with the R.C.A.F.; however, he flew his Hurricanes with the 65th squadron which was a British outfit, and my father’s Lancaster had a R.A.F. serviceman as co-pilot on his last mission over Germany.
