The Dieppe Raid
Second Wave At Dieppe
Transcript
Newfoundlanders have an amazing pride
in their service, Beaumont-Hamel in particular.
You remember all the Newfoundlanders that
lost their lives during Beaumont-Hamel and
the great loss to the families and, you know,
you want to celebrate but in the meantime,
a celebration, the word celebrate almost seems
disrespectful but you want to remember,
we have to remember.
That's important to me and as Newfoundlanders
that's important to them to remember
the sacrifice that our family members
lost their lives.
