Press Release from the Royal Newfoundland Regiment Statue Unveiling

This November 11th, two sculptures representing the Royal Newfoundland Regiment are set to be unveiled at the CBS Monument of Honour in Long Pond.

These sculptures, one depicting an old comrade from the Blue Puttees of World War One in quiet repose, and a current day soldier on patrol will mark the first time in more than eighty years that a bronze statue(s) will be dedicated in Newfoundland to the famous Royal Newfoundland Regiment. It is also the first time that a contemporary Royal Newfoundland Regiment soldier has been cast in Bronze.

The Blue Puttee statue depicts an original First Five Hundred soldier looking back years after the end of the war. He stands in quiet reflection on the loss of many of his friends and comrades that he served with.

The present-day statue depicts a female soldier of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment on Patrol. She represents all the Newfoundland soldiers that are currently facing life or death situations in armed conflicts around the globe. This statue is unique in that it may be the first female soldier to be depicted on active service to be dedicated in all of Canada, not just Newfoundland.

Local artist Morgan Macdonald, whose previous work included the The Rower near Quidi Vidi Lake, A Time on George Street, and the replica Beaumont-Hamel plaques to Newfoundland’s missing from the Great War for Bowring Park, was commissioned to sculpt and cast these statues right here at home.

The unveiling will take place 10:30am, followed by the Remembrance Day ceremony at 11am, November 11th, 2010.
