Today, we remember Newfoundlander's lost in the Battle of Beaumont Hamel.

The Newfoundland Regiment suffered immense casualties during the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel on July 1, 1916. Out of approximately 800 soldiers from Newfoundland who participated in the battle, a mere 68 were present for roll call the following day. This devastating outcome resulted in over 700 soldiers being either killed, wounded, or reported as missing.
