Tuesday February 09, 2010Western Front for Anzac Day
Whilst Gallipoli was the first battle that Anzac forces encountered during World War I, it was the Western Front in northern France and Belgium where Australian and New Zealand troops would go on to serve in their greatest number and, tragically, suffer its largest & most horrendous casualties.
Places such as The Somme, Villers-Bretonneux, Hill 60, Menin Gate, Le Hamel, Fromelles and Pozières mark a significant place in Australian military history.
This year our Western Front tour will be attending the Western Front Anzac Day Dawn Service to commemorate the 92nd anniversary of the recapture of the village of Villers-Bretonneux by Australian Forces on 25 April 1918.
Full details of this years tours as well as final places can be found here:
