In Newfoundland and Labrador, 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 and Labrador Regiment was wiped out. A replica in Bowring Park, St. John's, was unveiled in July 1, 1928.
