My husband's grandfather was killed during WWII on his way home, Nov 1945 over the Med.  His name is listed in the Newfoundland Book of Remembrance.  I've been trying for years to find out when his page will be appearing as the open page so that my mother-in-law (who was only 6 when he died and left an orphan) can arrange to be in Ottawa to see her dad's page.  So far, I've banged my head up against the brick wall trying So, anyone have any idea who or what I have to do to access this information?  I've run the course with the HofC, my MP and assorted politicians and civil servants - no one seems to know who is the keeper of such info.  TIA

Here is the web site with a contact button. I have contacted them once before and our family was invited to the Page Turning Ceremony for both my Great Uncles. Also they will send you an official copy of the page your loved ones name is on. All you have to do is go to the order form page and fill it out.
