I have often wondered how many French war brides came to Canada after the First World War. Not a lot of information has been located regarding these war brides. Only one source indicated that there was soldiers' dependents living in France and Belgium at the Armistice that needed to be brought to Canada. These dependents were sent to England first to await passage to Canada.
I am currently tracking 65 French war brides who arrived in Canada from April to June 1919 with hopes of learning more about them. Do you have a French war bride in your family or one that came to your community? I'd love to hear from you. Contact me at wwiwarbrides@shaw.ca
