Tomorrow (Saturday, May 25), the remains of the unknown First World War soldier will arrive on Newfoundland and Labrador soil.

The Canadian Armed Forces aircraft carrying the remains is scheduled to land at 7:00 p.m. A hearse will then take the remains of the unknown to a secure location, passing several points of historical significance on its way: the former Camp Pleasantville (where First World War soldiers trained), the 5 CDSG Garrison along The Boulevard, the National War Memorial, the Sergeant’s Memorial and the CLB Armoury.

The Royal Canadian Legion – NL Command members will be saluting our fallen hero and the hearse along this route.

More information on the Newfoundland National War Memorial and the commemorative events can be found here.
