World War I - A Commemoration of Residents from Trinity and Area
August 14, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany. Four days later, Newfoundland, the oldest colony of the British Empire, telegraphed London committing the colony to raise one thousand men for the naval service and several hundred for land service abroad. This website created by the Trinity Historical Society commemorates those that served in the First World War from the Trinity area.
