    The Pozières Memorial to the Missing was also breathtaking, commemorating the loss of 14,900 lives. So many graves of unknown soldiers, where the only identification is their country of origin. To think of the parents of these soldiers having no idea where their son was buried is heartbreaking. My grandfather arrived in Pozières on the 25th April 1917.

    The walls of the Australian National Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux bear the names of 11,000 missing Australian soldiers who died in France. It is quite sobering an experience to walk through this incredible structure.    Læs mere
