First World War aftermath focus of Living Memorial Conference at Memorial University The First World War did not end with the armistice agreement in November 1918. That was simply the beginning of the final phase of the war that included the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles. As well, the Newfoundland Regiment was part of the allied occupation force in Germany following the Armistice and the main body of the Regiment did not return to Newfoundland until the summer of 1919. Memorial University will recognize the significance of the post-armistice period as it completes its five-year World War 100 program by hosting the Living Memorial Conference from June 22-23 at Signal Hill Campus in St. John’s. Keynote speakers include Dr. Tim Cook and Dr. Dean Oliver. See www.mun.ca/ww100.
