On July 1st, 1916 (One-hundred and Five years ago.) the Battle of the Somme commenced. An entire generation of Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans, approximately eight-hundred men, went over the top of their trenches in support of the grander operation. The Battle of Beaumont-Hamel, scarcely remembered by those in the wider world, is regarded as one of the darkest events in the history of our Province, and before that: Our nation.
Within the span of less than 30 minutes, 710 fathers, sons, brothers, and cousins of Newfoundland and Labrador were cut down before the lines of the German Army. With a staggering 386 wounded, and 324 killed in action. Many having fallen to the guns of the enemy before reaching their own front line. Only 68 of the 800 soldiers were still in any condition to report for roll call the following morning.
The heroic actions of the soldiers of Newfoundland and Labrador have ensured both an eternal respect, and admiration from the citizens of our Province. Their noble sacrifice will forever be enshrined in our memories, for as long as Newfoundland and Labrador endures.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
Version Française: Le 1er juillet est la fête du Canada, mais à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, nous connaissons cette date sous le nom de Memorial Day. Le 1er juillet 1916 (il y a cent cinq ans), la bataille de la Somme a commencé. Une génération entière de Terre-Neuviens, soit environ huit cents hommes, sont sortis de leurs tranchées pour participer à une opération de grande envergure. La bataille de Beaumont-Hamel, souvent oubliée dans le grand contexte de la Première guerre mondiale, est considérée comme l'un des événements les plus sombres de l'histoire de notre province et de notre nation. En moins de 30 minutes, 710 pères, fils, frères et cousins de Terre-Neuve ont été abattus ou blessés devant les lignes de l'armée allemande, avec un nombre stupéfiant de 386 blessés et 324 morts au combat. Beaucoup sont tombés sous les balles de l'ennemi avant d'atteindre leur propre ligne de front. Seuls 68 des 800 soldats étaient encore en état de se présenter à l'appel le lendemain matin. Les actions héroïques des soldats de Terre-Neuve leur ont valu le respect et l'admiration éternels des citoyens de notre province. Leur noble sacrifice restera à jamais gravé dans nos mémoires, aussi longtemps que Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador existera. Au coucher du soleil, et au soleil levant, nous nous souviendrons.
