AUSTRALIAN MEMORIAL PARK OF FROMELLES

This site honors the Australian soldiers who fought at Fromelles on July 19, 1916. This battle pitted the Germans against the British and the Australian Army. Poorly prepared, it turned into a catastrophe for the latter. The statue that can be seen in the park illustrates the spirit of solidarity of the Australian soldiers who, in the aftermath of the confrontation, risked their lives to help their wounded comrades who remained on the battlefield.
