Lest we forget
I’ve heard that “history is written by the victors”. But, what about the moments of remembrance?
This evening, on the eve of the centennial of a great battle, CBC presented an excellent documentary about one of the important battles from the Great War, detailing the efforts of Newfoundland soldiers at the battle of Beaumont-Hamel. A deeply moving recall of events that are now beyond the memory of anyone who actually participated in the living hell of that trench war.
