Talk:Gallipoli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Newfoundland, the Gallipoli offensive is commemorated each year on April 25 by the Royal Newfoundland Regiment who hold a march from Government House through the streets of St. John's ending at the National War Memorial. Newfoundland was the only country in North America to commit troops to the battle as the Royal Newfoundland Regiment fought alongside Australian and New Zealand forces in the Gallipoli Campaign. People in Newfoundland realise that Gallipoli was mainly an Australian/New Zealand operation, with a smaller contribution from Royal Newfoundland Regiment (hence the April 25 date of recognition). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Gallipoli

War memorial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Many cemeteries tended by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission have an identical war memorial called the Cross of Sacrifice designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield that vary in height from 4.5m to 9m depending on the size of the cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery has a Canadian Cross of Sacrifice with the names of all the citizens of the USA who lost their lives fighting in the Canadian forces during the Korean War and two World Wars.

Remembrance Day The National War Memorial was officially unveiled by His Majesty King George VI at eleven o'clock on the morning of Sunday, May 21, 1939. The National War Memorial is an impressive remembrance to all these valiant men and women. Following the First World War, 1914-1918, there was a strong sentiment in Canada that a memorial should be erected to those who had served their country in that war. www.canoe.ca /RemembranceDay/memorial.html

Newfoundland and the Great War The solemnly dignified of the National war memorial at St. Memorial Day, the formalized act of remembrance of an island and its people, with its comforting images of just war and a noble sacrifice, served to reconcile a wartime generation to death and tragedy of an unpresedented scale. Newfoundland women, both trained professional nurses and untrained volunteer nurses, were part of the Newfoundland war effort in Europe. www.mun.ca /ngw/cnews.html

Newfoundland and the Great War Commemorations explores memory as related in the material history of monuments dedicated to fallen soldiers, both in Newfoundland and overseas, including establishment of the National War Memorial and the Memorial University of Newfoundland the Beaumont Hamel and the Newfoundland War Memorial overseas. Newfoundlanders' patriotic commitment to the war effort at home, their involvement in great battles and individual accomplishments on the European battlefields, and the horrific losses suffered by Newfoundland's regiments are paid tribute to on the Newfoundland and the Great War web site. Newfoundlanders, in spite of negligible prior military experience, heeded the call of empire at the onset of the Great War. www.publichistory.org /reviews/view_review.asp?DBID=52

V O R T E X 3: Publications and on-line Papers / Conferences : War Memorial Gardens as Dramaturgical Space Damaged or lost memorials are carefully renovated by the CWGC or assiduously traced, re-built and re-dedicated by veterans and ex-servicemen's associations and the many interest groups that have been established to perpetuate the memory of the Great War. Such is the interest in the relationship between commemoration and national identity that the Great War and its dead have become a focus of post-modernist reflection and poetic fiction. The memorial parks are spatially complex, they require the pilgrim visitor to participate vicariously in exploring an unknown terrain and to take part in a meaningful narrative, and they have managed to integrate the figurative symbolism of their monuments into the commemorative landscape. www.uwe.ac.uk /amd/vortex/dramspac.htm

Newfoundland and Canada: The War Years, 1939-1945: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage However, by the end of the war in 1945, senior Canadian officials had decided that, if at all possible, Newfoundland should be brought into confederation. Newfoundland had become important to Canada in a way it had never been in the past. After a period of uncertainty, it became clear that the defence of Newfoundland and Labrador would have to be a North American responsibility, with Canada taking the lead. www.heritage.nf.ca /law/war_years.html

The World at War - Newfoundland & Labrador Timeline from 1919 to 1949 Newfoundland enters World War II by virtue of Britain’s declaration. The National Convention defeats a motion by Smallwood to include confederation with Canada along with return to Responsible Government as it existed prior to 1934 or continuation of the Commission of Government as a choice to be present on the ballot for the national referendum. Newfoundland referred to as a "Dominion" (a title the government assumed officially in 1908) in the Statue of Westminster but requests that sections 2 -6 not be implemented until such time as the legislature requests it which in never did. worldatwar.net /timeline/newfoundland/19-49.html

Events in Canada and overseas to commemorate 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme at Beaumont-Hamel Born in White Bay, Newfoundland, Private Thomas Ricketts of the 1st Battalion, the Royal Newfoundland Regiment was awarded the Victoria Cross for most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on October 14, 1918 at Ledeghem, Belgium. Because Newfoundland did not join Canada until after the Second World War, Newfoundlanders who gave their lives in the two world wars, including those killed in action at Beaumont-Hamel, are listed separately, in the Newfoundland Book of Remembrance. Newfoundlanders are proud of their two First World War recipients of the Victoria Cross, the highest decoration for valour. www.releases.gov.nl.ca /releases/1996/mpa/0628n01.htm

Memorial University College, 1925-1949: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage Reinvigorating the drive to establish a college in Newfoundland was the perceived need to have an appropriate memorial to the Newfoundlanders who had served or died during World War One. Memorial University College (MUC) officially opened on 15 September 1925, and began to offer the first two years of university training in the arts and sciences. Many faculty members were Newfoundlanders and some were MUC graduates themselves, but all had received advanced training in Britain, Canada, or the United States. www.heritage.nf.ca /society/muc.html

Remembrance rites touched by spectre of new conflict  As Iraq war weighed Persian Gulf war veteran Louis Lamarre, 37, confined to a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis he believes is linked to exposure to toxic gas used in the conflict, laid a gas mask along with the wreaths at the National War Memorial. But amid the poppies and pageantry was a strong antiwar sentiment as the spectre of a possible war led by the United States against Iraq hung over the ceremonies. But it was also the first time since the Korean War that Canadians paid tribute at Remembrance Day ceremonies to their own soldiers killed in a combat zone. veterananonyme.com /remembrance.htm
