Description
On their march towards the Somme, and Beaumont Hamel, the young men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment raised their voices to sing “When the Great Red Break of day is Shining,” a song about returning home to the folks they love. Howard Morry was once some of the young men who managed to make it back. And now, 100 years after the events that modified his life, we hear Morry’s voice, in these pages, rising from the silence to recount his days with the famed Regiment. In memoirs expertly decided on and contextualized by Christopher Morry, When the Great Red Break of day Is Shining offers an extraordinary first-hand account of life at the front lines as told by a soldier preserving his memories for generations to return.
