    The Route de Hamel leads east & north of Villers-Bretonneux to the most recently constructed memorial to Australian Diggers at a battle site which marked the turning point of WW1. On July 4th 1918, an Australian planned and commanded battle was so successful it established the pattern of future Allied operations.

    Visit the Australian War Memorial north of Villers-Bretonneux. Every year there is a service here on the Saturday before Anzac Day April 25th.
    Over 2000 Australian Servicemen are buried or are commemorated here. Prepare yourself to shed a tear or two as you read the inscriptions on the tombstones & read the names on the facade of the building.
