On a recent trip to Europe, we had the opportunity to visit some of the battlefields, grave sites and memorials to the Newfoundland and Canadian efforts in World War One. You can find the photos we took on Flickr - link above.
I found these battle sites to be a very sobering experience, causing deep reflection, and giving rise to far greater emotions than I expected. The hardship these young men experienced even outside direct actions was incredible. It certainly helped me reflect much more deeply on the rights we have enjoyed because of their sacrifice.
