More records at Library and Archives Canada (For all the records here, use the help link)

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.01-e.php

16. British Military and Naval Records (RG 8, C Series) - INDEX ONLY 105012 Help
17. British Military and Naval Records (RG 8, C Series) - DOCUMENTS 105012 Help

From the early 1700s to 1871, the defense of Canada was primarily the responsibility of British military and naval forces. Therefore, the military authorities created different types of documents most of which are held at the National Archives in England in various War Office and Admiralty series. However, other records created in Canada remained here when the British Forces left in 1871. Library and Archives Canada holds many of those documents and they are regrouped into one major fonds, RG 8.

24. War of 1812: Miscellaneous Records Help
25. War of 1812: Board of Claims for Losses, 1813-1848, RG 19 E5A 139215 Help

19. Commonwealth War Graves Registers, First World War 46246 Help

“Black Binders” (volumes 39 to 144) It should be noted that the post-war movement of graves, of which there is sometimes a series of movements, will be recorded in these registers.

20. Circumstances of Death Registers, First World War 46246 Help
“Brown Binders” (volumes 145 to 238) which focuses on the circumstances of death (if available) with particulars of the initial grave site, if known.

28. Veterans Death Cards: First World War 46114 Help

When Veterans Affairs was notified of the death of a First World War veteran, a death card was created and those cards are now in the custody of Library and Archives Canada and are used as a finding aid to the personnel records of the First World War.
This collection includes death cards up until the early 1960s [so sometimes this falls within a provincial BMD closure period on deaths, which makes this collection quite useful on occasion]
