The centenary of the beginning of the First World War has seen renewed global attention to the war. A proliferation of scholarly works, commemorative public events, documentaries, and museum exhibits dedicated to the war ensured that the participating nations reaffirmed messages of service and sacrifice. The global response provides some insight into how nations crafted the memory of the war and the links made between remembrance and national identity. The Canadian War Museum, along with various state commemorations, encased the events of the war within narratives of heroism and sacrifice, most recently with the celebratory focus on the Battle of Vimy Ridge. This renewed interest in the war inspired this study, which explores how the war was portrayed in Ontario and Quebec history textbooks in the immediate post-war decades. This project argues that an analysis of both the textual narratives and the visual culture portrayed in history textbooks helps us better understand messages of nationhood in Canada. Through an examination of history textbooks that were approved in Ontario and Quebec between 1920 and 1948, we seek to uncover what the Ontario Department of Education, the Catholic church, and publishers felt were important for students in schools to remember about Canada’s participation in the war.ResumeLe centenaire du debut de la Premiere Guerre mondiale a contribue a renouveler l’interet du public pour la Grande Guerre. On observe alors une proliferation des ouvrages academiques, des evenements commemoratifs publics, des documentaires et des expositions museales qui y sont dedies et dont le but est de reaffirmer le message de service et de sacrifice des Etats qui y ont pris part. Ces ouvrages et evenements donnent un apercu de comment les nations construisent leur memoire de la guerre ainsi que des liens tisses entre le devoir de memoire et l’identite nationale. Le Musee canadien de la guerre, ainsi que plusieurs commemorations gouvernementales, synthetisent les evenements de la Grande Guerre dans un recit d’heroisme et de sacrifice. Un exemple recent de cela est l’interet porte a la bataille de la crete de Vimy. Cet interet renouvele envers la Grande Guerre a inspire cette etude qui explore comment celle-ci a ete representee dans les manuels scolaires de l’Ontario et du Quebec dans les decennies suivants la fin de la Premiere Guerre mondiale.  Ce projet propose qu’une analyse des manuels centres sur les recits textuels et de la culture visuelle aide a mieux comprendre les messages associes a la construction de la nation canadienne. A partir d’un examen des manuels scolaires approuves pour l’Ontario et ceux disponibles pour le Quebec entre les annees 1920 et 1948, nous cherchons a decouvrir ce que le Departement de l’Education de l’Ontario, l’Eglise Catholique et les maisons d’editions consideraient comme etant importants a ce souvenir a propos de la participation du Canada a la Premiere Guerre mondiale.
