Australian Circuit 'ANZAC tour'

Full day tour, 2 day tour or personnalised tour

"After Gallipoli, the Australian troops arrived on the Western Front in 1916 to take part in the Battle of the Somme - the small village of Pozières was to become infamous by the huge sacrifices of the three divisions that fought there. These divisions were to fight again, the following year at Bullecourt and then in Flanders during the 3rd Battle of Ypres. Their return in 1918 helped stop the last German offensive - the Kaiser’s Offensive at Villers Bretonneux. They then helped to liberate large numbers of towns and villages from the Somme to the Hindenburg line."

• Our program

Many of us who live on the Somme still feel a strong alliance with the Australians - Our company is specialised in the Australian Battlefields. On this circuit you can discover the Australian Memorial at Villers Bretonneux and Victoria School, as well as many of the military cemeteries that punctuate the local countryside. Péronne and Mont Saint Quentin will also be explored, as will Pozières and the site of the windmill, Gibraltar, Mouquet farm, preserved trenches and mine craters…
