Terre-Neuve, plus ancienne colonie britannique, réussit à lever un contingent d'environ un millier d'hommes. Durement éprouvé aux Dardanelles (Turquie) en 1915, le régiment attaque le 1er juillet 1916 à 8h45. À 10h00, la tragédie était consommée : des 800 hommes, 68 revinrent indemnes.
Longtemps, le 1er juillet sera jour de deuil à Terre-Neuve.
Le parc est aujourd'hui territoire canadien.
Newfoundland National Memorial Park.
Newfoundland, the oldest British colony, raised a contingent of about one thousand men, and suffered severely in the Dardanelles campaign in Turkey, in 1915. The regiment attacked here at 8.45 am on 1 July 1916. By 10.00 am the tragedy was complete: of the 800 men, only 68 returned unharmed. 1 July 1916 was to be a day of mourning in Newfoundland for many years to come.
Nationaler Gedenkpark von Neufundland.
Neufundland, die alteste britische Kolonie - und heutige Provinz Kanadas - brachte ein Kontingent von etwa tausend Soldaten auf. Dieses Regiment, das 1915 bereits an den Kampfen um die Dardanellen (Türkei) beteiligt war, greift am 1. Juli 1916 um 8.45 Uhr an. Um 10.00 Uhr war die Tragödie vollendet: von 800 Männern gingen 68 unversehrt aus der Schlacht hervor.
Lange Zeit wird das Volk von Neufundland dieses 1. Juli in tiefer Trauer gedenken.
Der Park ist heute kanadisches Territorium.
