Sometimes just one word can mean so much.

CBC Newfoundland and Labrador has put out a call for the public to think about the province's experience in the First World War — in a single word.

"16 for 16" will be a part of CBC's broad coverage of the 100th anniversary of Beaumont-Hamel in July. 

Beginning 16 days before July 1, CBC will reveal one word a day, collected from Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to reflect what the sacrifice of the battle meant to them.
