Category Archives: Fromelles

Anzac Cemetery was begun by the 2nd Australian Field Ambulance, close to an advanced dressing station, just before the attack at Fromelles in July 1916, and was used from then until the German advance of April 1918.

Just before we leave Fromelles, a visit to the village war memorial is, of course, mandatory.

Remember the Dead

And so we find ourselves on the battlefield of Fromelles.  Half a mile south east of Le Trou Aid Post Cemetery, this is V.C. Corner Australian Cemetery and, beyond the Cross of Sacrifice, the Australian Memorial that stands within.
