Book of Remembrance

The Book of Remembrance is the account of Port Hope, Ontario’s contribution to the Great War of 1914-1918. The original booklet was compiled in 1919 as a tribute to the sixty-five men of Port Hope and vicinity who died in the Great War. The Book of Remembrance was then, as it is now, the town’s attempt to remember the fallen men as personalities and not just as names on the cenotaph. It is also a record of how the people of a small town joined together to support “their boys” overseas.

Only two copies of the book were produced in 1919. This is the first time the Book of Remembrance has been reprinted and now includes the names of all of Port Hope’s soldiers along with their photographs. This special edition also includes letters from the Front as published in the Port Hope Evening Guide and photographs from the collection of the Port Hope Archives.

The Book of Remembrance is a snapshot of rural Ontario’s contribution to “the war to end all wars” and a lasting tribute to those who paid the price for peace.
