Aside from Canada Day, July 1 has another meaning for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
Thursday marked the 94th anniversary of the grisly First World War battle at Beaumont Hamel in France. Only 68 of 801 members of the First Royal Newfoundland Regiment were able to answer the roll call the next day.
In St. John's, police on horses led uniformed members of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Canadian Forces, the RCMP, RNC and Association of Registered Nurses, to the National War Memorial following a wreath laying ceremony at the Sergeant's Memorial near Gower Street.

as a boy, i would always take in parades and cerimonies honouring our veterans. as a father, my son is reminded of the sacrifices that these and other veterans gave, so that he could enjoy his video games and other things that many take for granted. thank you to all who have and do serve, regardless of conflict or country; past and present...we will never forget!
