Courtrai Newfoundland Memorial, War memorial in Kortrijk, Belgium

The Courtrai Newfoundland Memorial features a bronze caribou statue standing on a stone base overlooking the surrounding Belgian countryside and Commonwealth cemetery.

During World War I, the Royal Newfoundland Regiment made substantial contributions to military operations in the Kortrijk region, leading to this memorial's establishment.

The memorial serves as a meeting point for Canadian and Belgian citizens who gather annually to honor the soldiers from Newfoundland who served in World War I.

Visitors can reach the memorial by following the signs from Kortrijk city center, with parking available near the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site.

The bronze caribou statue at Courtrai, designed by sculptor Basil Gotto, represents one of five identical monuments placed across former World War I battlefields.
