Figure 1.--Sainte-Marie de Beaucamps appears to be a primary school or ecole. We do not know if there was also a secondary section. I'm not sure where the school was located, but believe it was Ligny. Presumbably the school was a Catholic school, given its name. It was also an all boys schools as most Catholic schools were single gender schools at the time. This class portrait was taken in 1953. |
Sainte-Marie de Beaucamps appears to be an ecole. At least the images we have are of primary classes. I'm not sure if there was a secondary section at the time. I'm not sure where the school was located. I think Beaucamps may be a small village in Ligny. The school has a rather rural setting. We wonder if it might be a boarding school. We have seen the military style uniforms like the omes worn for First Communion at Catholic boarding schools in the 1920s and 30s. We think that the school was a Catholic school, given its name. It wa also an all boys schools as most Catholic schools were single gender schoolsat the time. Of course the First Communion also suggests a Catholic school. We have very little information about the school at this time. For some reason the staff did not pose with the boys for the class portraits.
