EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Regina Rifle Regiment Memorial at the entrance to Juno Beach in Courseulles, Normandy. The small, weathered pillar stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who served in this esteemed regiment during World War I. The regimental badge, proudly displayed at the center of the memorial, bears the battle honours earned by the Regina Rifles in some of the most significant engagements of the war. The inscription on the memorial reads, "Regina Rifle Regiment, Passchendaele, Mount Sorrell, Cambrai, Vimy." These battle honours represent the regiment's involvement in some of the most fierce and costly battles of the war, including the Battle of Passchendaele, the Battle of Mount Sorrell, the Battle of Cambrai, and the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The Regina Rifle Regiment, which was formed in 1914, played a crucial role in the Canadian contingent during World War I. Their contributions to the war effort were significant, and their bravery and determination were recognized with numerous battle honours. Today, the memorial at Juno Beach serves as a reminder of their sacrifices and the important role that the Regina Rifles played in the history of the Canadian military. The photograph was taken in 2009, and the pillar, with its faded colours and weathered surface, speaks to the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the Regina Rifle Regiment.
