Newfoundland Regiment

The Newfoundland Regiment was an infantry unit from Newfoundland that fought in the First World War. Formed in 1914, it became famous for its bravery, especially during the Battle of the Somme in 1916, where many soldiers lost their lives. Despite Newfoundland being a small place, the regiment earned a strong reputation for courage and sacrifice. After Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949, the regiment was absorbed into the Canadian Army, but its legacy remains remembered as a symbol of national pride and military history.
