The Forget-Me Not- a Trip to Remember

The Forget-Me Not- a Trip to Remember

I read your Forget-Me-Not article, July 2013 issue, as I was starting a trip with the Royal Canadian Legion NL Provincial Command's Pilgrimage to Europe on the "Trail of the Caribou", to tour the 5 Caribou Monuments erected in France to commemorate the fallen soldiers of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment during WWI. We were honored to be wearing our Forget -Me-Not flower on our lapels during the July 1 Remembrance ceremony at Beaumont-Hamel, France. It was also worn with pride at all of the other Remembrance ceremonies. During this trip, it was wonderful to see the youth of our province grasp the magnitude of the ultimate sacrifice made by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians of their age group during WWI. I was honored to be one of 4 chaperones to travel with these future leaders of our province. Aslo travelling on this trip were: Premier Dunderdale, Royal Canadian Legion NL Command Pres. Aiden Crewe 4 Canadians Forces Veterans and their spouses,16 amazing NL youth, 4 chaperones, historian F. Gogos, nurse S. Nolan, interpreter J. Prowse(RNR Member, and Bugler E. Desgroilliers of the RNR. Also there was Chief of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Robert Johnston; Tourism Deputy Minister J. Hearn and Asst. Deputy Minister M. Jones.
