Cimetière-de-l'Hôpital-Général-de-Québec
Dans ce cimetière reposent les dépouilles de plus de mille combattants canadiens, français et britanniques, victimes de la guerre de Sept Ans (1756-1763). Ces hommes sont morts de maladie ou ont succombé à leurs blessures lors de la bataille des Plaines d'Abraham en 1759 ou de celle de Sainte-Foy en 1760. Selon la pratique de l'époque, leurs corps furent déposés dans des fosses communes, sans identification. Fait remarquable, les s'urs Augustines ont conservé une liste nominative des militaires inhumés dans la portion consacrée du cimetière. Ce lieu et ce document inestimable perpétuent la mémoire de ces hommes valeureux.
Hopital-Général de Québec Cemetery
The remains of more than a thousand Canadian, French and British combatants who died in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) lie in this cemetery. These men died either from disease or from wounds suffered during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759 or the Battle of Sainte-Foy in 1760. As was customary at the time, their bodies were buried in communal graves without identification. Remarkably, the Augustinian Sisters kept a list of all those interred in the consecrated section of the cemetery. This significant document, like the cemetery itself, perpetuates the memory of these brave men.
