Newfoundland Memorial Park, France
The Newfoundland Memorial Park is a large area of preserved World War One trenches close to Beaumont Hamel, France.
Both British/Canadian and German front lines are beautifully and respectfully preserved in this unique park on the Somme. Within the park are several Division Memorials and three Commonwealth (CWGC) cemteries.
The Newfoundland Memorial Park is a tribute to the Newfounders who died or were injured in World War One but in particular for the Newfoundlanders who died at this location on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme, 1st July 1916.
So far as can be ascertained, 22 officers and 758 other ranks were directly involved in the advance. Of these, all the officers and slightly under 658 other ranks became casualties, but exact figures are not available as casualties were reported for the day as a whole. Of the 780 men who went forward only about 110 survived unscathed, of whom only sixty eight were available for roll call the following day. The Battalion's War Diary on July 7 states that on July 1 the overall casualties for the Battalion were 14 officers and 296 other ranks killed, died of wounds or missing believed killed, and that 12 officers and 362 other ranks were wounded, a total of 684 all ranks out of a fighting strength of about 929. About 14 of the wounded subsequently died from their wounds. (Source: Please take a look at Video History Today )
