The Lest We Forget Project is the inspiration of Blake Seward, a history teacher at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, in Smiths Falls, Ontario. Concerned that the contributions of those who died serving in the First World War have been largely forgotten, Seward began researching the military history of his own great uncle, who fought and died at Passchendaele. Seward soon realized that this type of research would be an exciting way to make history come alive in the classroom. It would give students the opportunity to document the life stories of the men and women who served in the First World War.

Le projet Nous nous souviendrons d'eux est né de l'imagination de Blake Seward, un professeur d'histoire au Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, à Smiths Falls, en Ontario. Le fait de voir les contributions des Canadiens qui ont perdu la vie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale largement tombées dans l'oubli préoccupait M. Seward. Il a donc décidé d'entreprendre des recherches sur la carrière militaire de l'un de ses grand-oncles, un militaire tombé au champ d'honneur durant la bataille de Passchendaele. Il s'est alors rendu compte que ce type de projet pourrait donner un second souffle à l'enseignement de l'histoire. Ainsi, ce genre de projet donnerait aux élèves l'occasion d'en apprendre plus sur la vie et le destin des hommes et des femmes qui ont servi sous les drapeaux durant la Grande Guerre.
