Hampton Remembers
During the 2007 - 2009 school term, students in Mr. Mark Perry’s Grade 11 modern history class at Hampton High School conducted meticulous research, using military files, battalion war diaries, and other key resources to write the draft narratives of 26 First World War soldiers whose names appear on their local cenotaph at Veteran’s Park, Hampton, New Brunswick. A smaller group of volunteer student-researchers then formed the HHS Memoria Military Heritage Project and worked for an additional five months to edit and refine the original drafts and to write the history of the key Canadian battles during the First World War. The students collected photographs, letters and other documents from community and family members in order to enhance the stories. The biographies were then written into the context of the war. The result of this work is this book titled Hampton Remembers that we hope inspires others to discover, reflect and remember…comperio, cogito, memoria. -
