Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial

The Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial stands in France, near Amiens, as a poignant tribute to the thousands of Newfoundland soldiers who lost their lives during World War I. Located close to where the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel took place, this site marks the tragic event where over 700 out of 800 men from the Newfoundland Regiment were either killed or wounded. Today, visitors can walk through the memorial, which includes preserved trenches and a caribou monument, offering a somber and reflective experience that honors the sacrifice of these soldiers.
