- Battle of the Somme: The Newfoundland Memorial (Canada) of Beaumont-Hamel. On 1 July 1916, the men of the Newfoundland Regiment, barely out of their trenches, found themselves under fire from German machine guns. Half an hour later, they were only 68 valid. The site, which extends over 30 hectares, is now preserved in the state by the federal government. On 1 July 1916, this is the start of the Battle of the Somme and the beginning of a terrible carnage: 58,000 men killed or wounded in a single day. Four months later, the picture is terrible: 1200000 men were put out of action, out of a total of 3000000 men.
