In Newfoundland, the pitcher-plant (Sarracenia purpurea), also known as the Indian
dipper and the huntsman's cup, was suggested for use on the coinage by Queen Victoria
and was made an official emblem in 1954. The caribou is also an accepted emblem of
Newfoundland. In Beaumont Hamel Park in France, a life-size bronze statue of a caribou
commemorates the historic attack on Beaumont Hamel, July 1, 1916, when almost the entire
Newfoundland Regiment was wiped out. A replica in Bowring Park, St. John's, was unveiled
in July 1, 1928.
