Description & Overview
Next May, join award-winning author Kevin Major for a 14-day journey of remembrance and reflection to England and France.
This unique project is offered by the Faculty of Arts at Memorial University of Newfoundland. This program was established and named to honour those who did not return from the battlefields.
The First World War took some of the best and brightest of a generation. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the loss was profound. From the Newfoundland Regiment came countless stories of bravery and loss, sacrifice and heroism.
