Tank Corps Memorial

Reviewed By IWNoordergraaf - Groningen, The Netherlands

Just along the Bapaume-Albert road you find many tokens and monuments of the events, the huge battles of the Great War. To place this monument at the exact location where battle tanks were used for the very first time in recent history is a good service for the tank-freaks from all over the world.

1st Australian Division Memorial

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

The 1st Australian Division Memorial is a reminder of the heroic efforts of the Australian volunteer troops that took part in the battles of the Somme. The fighting around Pozieres was particularly fierce with great casualties. The Memorial site was chosen immediately after the war as it had made such deep impression on the minds of the soldiers. This is a must visit particularly for Australians.
