Clarenville
Members of
Newfoundland Overseas
Forestry Unit
The
Newfoundland Overseas Forestry Unit was a very important part of the
overall war effort, and it is felt by many that the men of the Unit did not
receive the recognition they deserved. The demand for local lumber in Britain
was extreme due to restrictions to off-shore supplies as a result of the
conflict, and many of the local able bodied men were away in the armed forces.
Unfortunately, there appears to be very little information available today
regarding their story. Many of the original records were apparently destroyed by
fire in Glovertown, B.B., a number of years ago.

of the men of the N.O.F.U that
never returned, and are buried in Great Britain.
