Summary:  On the morning of July 1, 1916, at Beaumont-Hamel, the men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment climbed out of their trenches and advanced into no man's land. The Newfoundland Regiment was almost wiped out. When roll call was taken after the attack, only 68 men answered their names - 324 were killed, or missing and presumed dead, and 386 were wounded. Eric Mackenzie Robertson went over the top on that fateful day--and survived. Four years later, in the summer of 1920, Robertson would become the first born and bred Newfoundlander to compete in the Olympics, in Antwerp, Belgium. The author of In the Field returns to tell the story of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, a lost Olympiad, and one man's extraordinary journey through the battlefield and into history.
