At Beaumont-Hamel, the Newfoundland Memorial stands. This site offers a realistic & moving view of the battlefield. With remarkably well-preserved trench systems, the 51st Highland Division Monument (need to go again to see it), the "Danger Tree"; the halfway point in no mans land, and of course the mound with the Royal Newfoundland Regiment's emblem figure of the "Caribou". An information centre completes the visit with a reconstruction of a Newfoundland interior, information panels & a guided tour.
