Military Monday

Directorate of Movements microfilm C-5693 recently became available on Canadiana.ca Heritage. 

It comprises voyages to Europe between November 1943 and April 1944.

Canadian forces members, airmen trained under the BCATP, and others are included in the passenger lists.

There are 5,354 images covering 43 voyages.

Ships include the Pasteur (6 voyages), Ile de France (5), Aquatania (4), Queen Mary (4), and Mauretania (4).

Below is the list of voyages. Some were considered but ended up not carrying troops. I’ve added a few starting page numbers to help find a voyage of interest.

  1. Hi! Do you know if Directorate of Movements microfilms exists for other timeframes? I’m looking for July 1943.
