Newfoundland and Labrador The First World War Part 2 – The Home Front

Background While the men were away fighting in Europe, there was a great deal taking place back home in Newfoundland, most of it in support of the war effort. Groups at home worked to send supplies, support, encouragement and materials to the troops who were fighting overseas.

Women’s Patriotic Association Made bandages, knitted socks, scarves, hats, raised funds, visited families and cared for injured veterans. Had 15,000 members in NFLD Worked hard to support the soldiers who were fighting overseas

Women’s Patriotic Association Women knitting at someone’s home. Women gathered to sew clothing for soldiers overseas and plan fundraising. Note the sewing machines on the right. An enormous mound of grey woolen socks, knitted by the WPA to be sent to soldiers serving during the winter months overseas.

Newfoundland Patriotic Association 300 volunteers (mostly from St. John’s) Responsible for recruiting members for the NF Regiment, Royal Naval Reserve and Forestry Corps. Existed until 1917, when it was taken over by the government.

Conscription Soldiers volunteered to fight during the first years of the war, they signed up on their own. The Regiment had to maintain at least 1000 men to be ready for action in Europe. In May, 1917, the government passed an Act requiring men aged 19 – 25 to register for service. As it turned out, these men never had to be shipped to war, and the Nfld Regiment was able to say that during WWI, it was a completely volunteer fighting force.

Cost of War – the Dead Many men were killed or wounded during the war. This had an effect on almost every community around the colony, all the way into Labrador. This affected the number of men who were working, fishing, etc. in the towns and villages.

Cost of War – “Spanish Flu” When the men returned to their home countries from the war in Europe, they brought with them an Influenza Epidemic. This severe strain of the flu was spread throughout the world and killed between 25 and 30 million people. Many Labrador Inuit were killed by this flu, as it spread through villages quickly and killed rapidly. Many bodies had to be burned or buried in mass graves to stop the spread of the disease.

OKAK – Inuit Village wiped out by Influenza Epidemic This Village of Inuit people had 266 people living there in 1918… only 59 were living after the flu epidemic was over. Many children were left without parents or anyone to care for them. More than 1/3 of Labrador Inuit were killed by this flu epidemic.

Cost of War – Women’s Suffrage This topic involved women’s right to vote. The WPA and VAD (Volunteer Aid Detachment) showed that women could be resourceful and capable. Had to overcome a great deal of contempt from men who felt they should stay at home and raise families.

To the Hon. R. A. Squires K.C. Prime Minister of Newfoundland Sir - The promoters of the Woman's Sufferage movement beg to draw the attention of the Premier to the incomprehensible attitude of the government towards the question of the enfranchisement of women, as evidenced in the failure of the two Government members to table the Bill after having pledged themselves to do so. The women interested would infinitely prefer that the Bill should be made a Government measure during the present session of the House; but they are determined that it shall be presented this year and if the Government does not see its way to meeting their views in this respect, the Women's Party will see that it is presented by a member of the opposition on Friday June 4th.

World War I resulted in an awakening for Newfoundland. While we were recognized as valiant fighters in battle, the population of the region was struck by the loss of many young men who were needed for the fishery and to earn a living back home. Women came to play a more important role in society after the war and many changes were to come about as a result. The fishery had been strong during the war, supplying food for fighting soldiers in Europe… this was to change. Cost of War – Overall
