Informations supplémentaires

After the Great War, the people and Government of Newfoundland proceeded to build memorials in France and Belgium where the Newfoundland Regiment had fought significant engagements, some of which were successful and some which were not, but all of which exemplified the spirit and determination of its soldiers, many of whom did not come home. Five monuments were constructed. The Government of Newfoundland acquired the land on which to build the memorials from grateful France and Belgium. It was decided that the memorials should be in the form of the caribou, an animal indigenous and familiar to all in Newfoundland and Labrador, and which was the emblem used in the badge of the Regiment. The locations were: Beaumont-Hamel (Somme) Gueudecourt (Somme) Monchy-le-Preux Masnieres (Cambrai) Courtrai (Kortrik)
