When the First World War began, Newfoundland had been without a military organization for almost half a century. Public-spirited citizens formed themselves into a Patriotic Association and within sixty days had recruited, partially equipped, and dispatched 537 officers and men overseas. The Fighting Newfoundlander is a vivid history of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment and its heroic contributions to the war effort. Gerald Nicholson details the harrowing experiences of the Newfoundland Regiment at Gallipoli and later at Beaumont Hamel, where 710 of the 801 officers suffered serious injury or death. He follows them to the Third Battle of Ypres and Cambrai, for which they were granted the title "Royal" - the only army unit to receive such a distinction during the First World War. Nicholson includes an exploration of the colonization of Newfoundland and its contributions to the War of 1812, the American War of Independence, and the American Civil War. The Fighting Newfoundlander is an illuminating history of the "Blue Puttees" and their community.
