Gueudecourt Memorial

Gueudecourt Memorial, World War I memorial in Gueudecourt, France.

Gueudecourt Memorial stands about 1 kilometre north-east of Gueudecourt village, on the south-east side of the D574 road. A bronze caribou by sculptor Basil Gotto, the emblem of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, stands on a cairn of Newfoundland granite, its head raised and calling toward the enemy line. A plaque is fixed to the front of the stone base, and a preserved trench line of 17 November 1916 lies behind the caribou as seen from the entrance.

The memorial marks the events of October 1916 when the regiment captured an important trench and held it against repeated attacks. This success was rare among units of the British Army during that campaign.

The caribou figure represents Newfoundland's national symbol and was chosen to honor the soldiers who fought here. This connection between homeland and sacrifice remains visible in the memorial's simple but meaningful design.

The memorial is located roughly one kilometer northeast of the village and can be reached from the Albert-Bapaume Road. The site is easy to find by following directional signs pointing northward.

Behind the caribou, seen from the memorial entrance, a preserved trench line of 17 November 1916 survives; it was part of the British front line on the final day of the Somme offensive. The site also marks the farthest advance from the 1 July start line reached by any British unit.
