The village of Gueudecourt lies five kilometres directly south of Bapaume. Just northeast of Gueudecourt is the Gueudecourt (Newfoundland) Memorial. The bronze caribou stag erected by the Newfoundland Government (which, during WWI, was not officially part of the Canadian Confederation), is clearly visible from the Albert-Bapaume-Cambrai road and stands in a small battlefield park on a low rise. It marks the spot where, in October 1916, the Newfoundlanders played a decisive role in the capture of a German strong-point named Rainbow Trench.
