100 years ago, the 1st Newfoundland Regiment faced devastating losses at Beaumont Hamel on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Going “over the
top,” Newfoundlanders were completely exposed to intense machine gun fire and the attack was a horrific failure. Within 20 minutes, approximately 85% of those
who had started forward were dead, dying or wounded.
While the casualty list varies, most records indicate that 287 Newfoundlanders were killed in this battle, on the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army. Due in part to the incredible courage and bravery demonstrated at Beaumont
Hamel, King George V honoured the Regiment’s actions by granting it the designation “Royal”.
The Vimy Foundation is actively working to ensure that Beaumont Hamel and other major battles of the First World War involving Canadians and
Newfoundlanders are recalled and our losses commemorated.
july 1, 1916
we will remember them.
