Another quick comment with Canadian content: the Newfoundlanders who attacked at Beaumont Hamel, right next door to Serre lost over 600 men. Newfies, who qualify as "gradely", commemorated this by naming July 1, "Memorial Day." The university in St. John's, Nfld, is called Memorial University to honor the fallen.
