One good thing about the Canadian Department
of National Defense: they kept excellent statistical records
of the Canadian War Brides!
There are many reliable
sources for various aspects of the war brides phenomenon,
from marriages and births to transportation, arrivals, and
follow-ups by the Canadian Red Cross and the Immigration Branch
of the Department of Mines and Resources. Many of these sources
can be found in the National Archives in Ottawa.
What follows is a list
of the available statistics culled from various primary resource
materials over years of research.
