Lives of the First World War

This was named after the capital of Newfoundland. It was mostly dug by the Newfoundlanders around May 1916, soon after the arrival in France with the 29th Division, whom they joined in Gallipoli in September 1915. After the Gallipoli evacuation in January 1916, they moved with the Division to Egypt, and then in early April to France. This was a support trench, part of the complex that formed the Front Line defences.
