EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn beauty of St. John's National War Memorial in Newfoundland, Canada, circa late 1920s. The memorial, formally unveiled on Memorial Day, July 1, 1924, stands as a poignant tribute to the sacrifices made by the people of Newfoundland during times of war. Before Newfoundland became part of Canada in 1949, it was a Dominion in its own right. The term "National" in the name of this monument signifies that it was built by the people of Newfoundland, reflecting their deep sense of patriotism and commitment to honor their fallen heroes. The memorial, located in the heart of St. John's, the capital city of Newfoundland, is a powerful symbol of remembrance and hope. At its center, a tall obelisk rises majestically, its surface etched with the names of the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of their country. The memorial is surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil pond, creating a serene and reflective atmosphere that invites visitors to pause and pay their respects. The photograph captures the memorial in all its glory, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground and the sky painted with the soft hues of a late afternoon. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the people of Newfoundland and their military history, and the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by those who served and fell in the name of freedom and peace. Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, a prominent British military leader, was invited to unveil the memorial, reflecting the close ties between Newfoundland and the United Kingdom during that time. The memorial continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for the people of Newfoundland and Canada, and a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served their country in times of war.
