The memorial to the Australian Corps is built on what was once, a century ago, part of the German front line trenches. On 4th July 1918, the Australian Corps, supported by American infantry and British tanks, took those trenches in what was a masterfully co-ordinated attacked planned by Lt-General John Monash. Today, the simple but imposing memorial is in open farmland with a wide, sweeping view of the Somme countryside. As you walk from the large car park, along a footpath through the fields, you will pass a series of informative panels describing in great detail the build-up, execution and aftermath of the battle. It's all nicely laid out, extremely interesting and well worth a visit.

A very special place for those of us interested in Australia's part in WW1. Very serene and quite moving

I visited the memorial in September 2016, and it made a lasting impression. From the location overlooking the Somme valley which soaked up so much young blood 100 years ago, the simple, but very effective design, to Clemenceau's moving words. It all works brilliantly. It is also a very important location in worldwide military history, as it is where the brilliant combined arms battle plan devised by Australian Lt. General Sir John Monash was first unleashed. The German generals on the receiving end studied it well, called it \Blitzkreig\, and used it to great effect in Poland, France and Russia 20 years later .

A must see for Aussies. Short drive from Villers Bretonux. When standing on this site you can see why this area was important. It's a high point in the area. Has commanding views . Stop and have a look at the church in Le Hamel.

What an amazing display outlining the master plan of General Monash. The location is a former battle location from WWI with a bunker still on display!
