My heart was so heavy as we walked these very spots on the 07.08.2023 & 08.08.2023. This spot is very significant to me as I lost a family member James Commins age 42 on the second assault at Bullecourt killed in the German trench. We met the people in Bullecourt & I am so grateful the local people remember us, look after the memories & the cemeteries. RIP our diggers “I will Not Ever Forget”. N.Commins.
Thank you for sharing this video. My Great Grandfather was captured by the Germans here on 11th April 1917 (13th Battalion AIF). He eventually made it home, married, had two daughters (one being my Nan, who only recently passed).
Brilliant. Thank you. My great-grandfather, James Harry Sharp (2nd/6th Prince of Wales Own West Yorkshire Reg't) was killed 11.4.1917 at the nearby village of Ecoust-st-Mien. I have been there many times and walked in the footsteps of the lads.
All that sacrifice, and in return the Belgians and French have committed the Europeans to inflicting a punitive trade embargo on us for generations. Never again.
Most of the dead retrieved from the battlefield were reburied at Queant Road CWGC Cemetery. However because exhumations were made over several years (and even decades) many were buried in the cemeteries scattered around northern France depending upon space available in the cemeteries. Well over 1,000 are still underneath the fields waiting to be found.
2:20 If not for the straight lines, formed by the roads, this image could have been of the surface of the moon. The scale of the devastation was immense.

Which cemetery was the Digger move to after the war?.

Beautiful and poignant presentation.
