The Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial is one of the more impressive and inspiring memorials on the western front. It is a somber place with few nods to victory and focuses on the soldiers and the battle. The baying elk is an impressive monument and the battlefield with its trenches and shell craters is well preserved. I would put it in my top five of western front sites, and a must see if you are visiting the Somme.

Visiting this historic site is a must for any Newfoundlander visiting France, but also a good place for anyone to visit. We took my mother (who had lost a brother during WW1 and whose name we discovered on the plaque below the Caribou). I knew it would be a poignant visit, but found it to be even more so. Perhaps it was the connection to my family, or perhaps it's just a feeling that the place gives anyone that visits there. You can walk through the trenches, see a replica representation of the twisted tree known as the "danger tree", and try putting yourself into the mindset of those that battled there. The visitor's centre is staffed by young people from Canada (and often at least one from Newfoundland and Labrador) who can discuss the role the Royal Newfoundland Regiment played. I can't say it's a "fun" place to visit, but it is a very "important" place to visit and would go back again.

The friendly Canadian guides can answer questions. What was really fascinating was being able to walk through the trenches and see just how close the German lines were and to see the notorious 'danger Tree' where so many soldiers died. The memorial to the Newfoundland regiment topped by the bronze caribou is impressive and poignant.

Very moving place. Made even more special that young Canadians show you around the place. The area itself is amazing - words can't quite describe what it is like.Check out the musuem too - some interesting facts and info.

Standing in the trenches at this site, trying to imagine how they felt so far from home faced with the horrors of war is etched in my memory forever. So tragic! The Memorial is amazing - the trenches and the statue stand in honour of their sacrifice.

Very interesting place to see actual WW1 trenches undisturbed for almost 100 years. The Canadian guides were excellent. A very sobering memorial remembering Canada's contribution and loss.

This site is interesting because there are still trenches and craters left from the intensive bombing. Even if the site is now grassy and peaceful, it is not hard to imagine the horror of the soldiers who fought there. You can go around by yourself or get a guided tour on the premises. Another must-see site on what is called the "Circuit du Souvenir"

This was a remarkable historic site. The story about the Newfoundlands is remarkable enough. But the well-preserved site is one of the only places on the Western Front where you can really feel the nature of the battle. The location is remarkable and it is easy to visualize the experience of that dreadful battle. The visitors' centre is also very good, with solid and informative displays.

This was a wonderful tribute to the Newfoundlanders who sacrificed their lives during WW1.The interpretive centre is very informative and the young Canadian guide is also very knowledgeable. There is a wonderful memorial of an elk overlooking the entire area which the women of Newfoundland raised money in order for their young men to be forever remembered. There is also ample parking .A memorial that is a 'must' see especially if you are Canadian.

A remarkable memorial to the men who lost their lives at Beaumont-Hamel.This preserved part of the battlefield, its visitor centre and the memorial really allows visitors to understand what took place here.
