Canada in WW1: The Battle of Beaumont-Hamel (Albert) - a podcast by Craig Baird

It was the first major engagement for the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in Europe during the war. In the space of 30 minutes, 85 per cent of the regiment would be killed or injured.

It was a costly battle for the regiment, but one that lives on today in Newfoundland every July 1.
