Happy Canada Day fellow Canucks. Its also rememberance day in in NL of the Battle Beaumont-Hamel. On July 1, in broad daylight, one hundred thousand men climbed out of their trenches and advanced shoulder to shoulder across the crater-torn waste of No Man’s Land. At Beaumont Hamel, the Newfoundland Regiment was virtually annihilated. In less than half an hour, as they advanced into point-blank fire, the Islanders were cut down. Of the 801 men who went into the battle only sixty-eight unwounded men answered the roll call the next day. http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/general/sub.cfm?source=feature/BH2001 Its a little odd celebrating and remembering at the sane time. -- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them |
