A storyboard providing the background on the names associated with Morgan MacDonald’s bronze memorial monument in Victoria Park was officially unveiled yesterday.
One Hundred Portraits of the Great War, features facial casts of one-hundred descendants of Newfoundland Regiment soldiers who served in WWI.
Gary Lane, coordinator with the Victoria Park Foundation Inc., says it’s important to remember the role of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians in WWI.
Lane says the freedoms we enjoy now are in large part thanks to those who served in the military, and if we forget that, everything else will be taken for granted.
Great morning in Victoria Park for the official unveiling & dedication of the storyboard “One Hundred Portraits of The Great War”
Morgan MacDonald did an amazing job on this bronze sculpture!
