WW1 Canadian CEF 25th Battalion Discharge Certificate FRAGILE

This item is an original World War I Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) discharge certificate issued to a member of the 25th Battalion. The 25th Battalion was an infantry unit that served as part of the CEF during the First World War, participating in major battles on the Western Front. The certificate is an official document that would have been provided to soldiers upon their lawful release from military service, confirming the completion of duties and detailing basic personal and unit information. The condition is noted as fragile, indicative of age and handling over time. Such documents are valued for their historical context and the personal connection they provide to individual service members and broader military history. This certificate provides insight into the administrative processes of the CEF and offers a tangible link to Canada’s involvement in the Great War. Care is recommended when handling due to the delicate nature of the paper.
