Thank you for the stories of the Vimy Crosses. It is good to see that they have a place of honor up at the Amouries. My father, Sid Hampson fought in the 46th Btn as did my great uncle, Jack Sealy, who was killed shortly after the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The crosses were then located in St. Johns Anglican church, now St. Aidans at the corner of High St. anf First Ave. I often thought of those names, written on the crosses, and the sadness of their death their families would experience.
It is good to see that they have a new home and will be cared for for future generations to reflect upon.
