Remembering Beaumont-Hamel's Sacrifice | Montreal News
Description
One hundred and ten years after the devastating Battle of Beaumont-Hamel, where nearly 800 soldiers from the Royal Newfoundland Regiment vanished into No Man’s Land, solemn commemorations honored their sacrifice. Princess Anne joined hundreds—including veterans, youth, and dignitaries—at the memorial, where wreaths were laid and a new replica of the “Danger Tree” unveiled. The site, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands as a global symbol of remembrance, while in Newfoundland and Labrador, July 1st is also Memorial Day, with descendants like Sandra Locke continuing to honor their fallen ancestors. Even teens like Ella Clark, without direct family ties, felt the weight of history, carrying forward the legacy of those who never returned.
