NL students and chaperones are in France and Belgium, tracing the battlefields where Newfoundlanders and Labradorians fought in the First World War

CBC Newfoundland Morning

Many of us watched on TV when Newfoundland and Labrador's Unknown Soldier was laid to rest at the National War Memorial in St. John's on July 1. But for a group of young students from this province, the sacrifices of men who died more than a hundred years ago are personal. They're among a group following the Trail of the Caribou this week. Jo Anne Broders is an English and social studies teacher at Smallwood Academy in Gambo. Griffin Neal is a Grade Eight student from that school., and Joelle Moss is in Grade Eight at Xavier Junior high in Deer Lake. We reached them by phone from Belgium.
