Happy Canada 🇨🇦 Day to Gayle, L&P and many more!

There are two Canadian holidays today. It's also Memorial Day in Newfoundland and Labrador, in memory of the 1st Newfoundland Regiment's losses at Beaumont-Hamel in World War 1. 780 men were in the assault on July 1, 1916. Nearly 700 were killed, and only 68 were able to report for duty the next day.
 
Reminds me of the Bedford Boys. I believe they were from Ohio. Such a loss for an entire community. Sad. May they Rest In Peace and know their sacrifice is honored to this day.
