Recording of C & E History

It is the Branch Leadership intent to provide a centralised and electronic repository and method to record Canadian military C & E history as it unfolds. As such, a new section has been introduced on the C & E Branch web sites on the DIN and the Internet. Units, Formations, and Groups/Commands staff are therefore welcome to submit their significant C & E historical events (operations; key appointments; organisational changes; special events; special awards; etc.) as it unfolds. The format intended is to record key dates with a brief description (4 to 5 lines max). As the history of the C & E Branch, produced by the late Capt John A. Mackenzie, was last updated on 18 Jan 94, you are welcome to submit items as far back as 1994, using the on line form.
