For 100 years, the Newfoundland National War Memorial has been a somber reminder of the valiant contributions that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians made during armed conflicts since the First World War. On July 1st Newfoundlanders and Labradorians will proudly gather at the National War Memorial in St. John’s to mark the memorial’s centennial anniversary. Approximately 12,000 Newfoundlanders served during the First World War. Tragically, more than 1,700 lost their lives and over 800 of those who died have no known graves. The historic event will include the laying to rest of an unknown Newfoundland First World War soldier whose remains are being repatriated from Northern France on May 25th at the war memorial in the capital city. More details on these events and how the public can participate, including broadcasts and live streaming, will be released as plans are confirmed.
