After nearly a decade, the Trail of the Caribou is now completed.
A 1,500-pound, eight-foot-tall bronze caribou monument has been installed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey the final placement of six monuments across France: in Beaumont-Hamel, Masnières, Gueudecourt, Monchy-le-Preux and Kortrijk in Belgium marking where the Royal Newfoundland Regiment fought during the First World War.
The Gallipoli monument honours the regiment s involvement in the Gallipoli campaign in 1915-16, the only one from North America to be involved. It s just such a wonderful moment, and a proud day for the regiment, Ron Penney, past chair of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment Advisory Council, told CBC News on Tuesday.
