The Trail of the Caribou Research Group - One of OURs

Tens of thousands of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have served in various units from numerous countries. We have identified those of "OURS" who served in the American Civil War right up to modern conflicts. In WWI alone we are tracking 13 thousand plus who served in NL Units and those from NL who served with other countries. We have located almost 10,000 of their resting places.

Those of "OURS" who have no identifiable resting place consist mainly of the 587 men of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment from WWI, another 366 from WWI served in other branches of service from NL (Royal Naval Reserve and Merchant Marine) and other countries' militaries. In WWII there are 442 we know of so far. This makes a total of 1395 of "OURS" with no known grave.
