| Parish Magazine May 1917 | Canon Hutt wrote: Pte. Hackett was not known to us in Bingham, and Mrs. Hacket has been with us but for a short time. They had a comfortable home in Calgary, in Canada, and immediately on the outbreak of war Pte. Hackett enlisted in the Canadian Infantry. He had been serving for some time in France, and it was presumably on Vimy Ridge, where the Canadians have won immortal fame, that he made the supreme sacrifice. | ||
