Sounds interesting ... is it an Australian school and why did you choose Verpillot?

Yes, it is an Australian school. There was no reason as to why I chose Verpillot, I just picked a random soldier off the list.

I'm doing this project with him. We had to find a soldier killed in the Battle of Fromelles, and there were certain parameters we had to meet. Private Aime Constant Verpillot met them all. We chose a few others, and did a quick search on all of them, and it came up with this site on Verpillot, so we stuck with him. This one site has given us a plethora of useful information, most of the details we need. Were just lacking in images.

It's a year wide project, and was started last year. Some of the videos made were presented at the Memorial Service. There is a website dedicated to this: http://smcchistory.ning.com/
It's basically a collection of information. It has information on some of the soldiers, and videos on a few of those.

Wonderful work Year 9ers!  ;D

I hope you have enjoyed working on your project. It's a lot more worthwhile and interesting than the projects my children did in Grade 9.

Best of luck with it.

Evant and Sabet,

If you would like to contact me, I can send you a photograph of Aime Verpillot.

You'll find our research website at www.fromelles.net (it's the Descendant Database listed on your school network).   If you send me an email from there, I'll get back to you asap.
