We had attended the Anzac Service the previous day and had tickets to the Monash Centre. There were loads of people around and it seemed like it was not the best idea to attend the day after Anzac Day. However we had tickets and a time so pushed on. The Centre is brilliant and can accommodate the crowds there and staff kept the numbers in to a manageable level. The exhibits are stunning in the way they are presented and we spent 3+ hours there just checking it all out. The interactive and static displays, along with the real items and reproductions added to the story. I was stunned when using the search facility to find my grandfather's details and service record easily. Everyone in our party came away touched by the level of detail and care involved. Many thanks to the staff there and the fact that I now know where my Grandfather fought, enlisted and so much more. Pity not everyone can get there and then also look over the land fought on.

During the Great War, Vignacourt was used for French and Allied logistics. Louis and Antoinette Thuillier began taking photographs of the soldiers of different nationalities. 4000 photographic plates were discovered. Vignacourt 14-18 welcomes you to the Thuillier's renovated farmhouse which is devoted to their photograph collection. This exhibition tells the story behind the lines.

Staying locally and looking to visit WW1 sites. Found this "new" museum by accident.. We were the only visitors a the time and the curator, gave us her time telling about the couple who took the photographs of the soldiers on display, and how the collection remained undiscovered for decades. Turned out she was directly related to the family. The displays of photographs are magnificent, and they have managed to trace some of the soldiers in the photographs giving you that sense of connection with the past. The interactive displays are brillant. If you are in the area, go and visit, you will find it truely moving.

Belleau Wood is very famous in the United States of America since it has been the location of a very important battle lead by the US Army’s 2nd US Division and the Marine Corps, in June 1918.
