Magnificent memorial to Australia's missing on the Western Front. Today the walls of the memorial hold the names of almost 11,000 men who have no known grave. The tower offers beautiful all round views of the peaceful Somme countryside and a panoramic view of the 2,000 headstones in the cemetery in front of the memorial. The memorial was damaged during fighting in the Second World War. Bullet holes and shell impacts can still be seen, particularly on the tower.

A peaceful and serene memorial. If you are able, climb to the top of the tower and take in the breathtaking view. Well worth visiting the Sir John Monash Centre, which is behind the memorial to learn more about how the Australian soldiers contributed to the Great War.

This is an impressive War Memorial designed by Edwin Lutyens and unveiled in 1938 honouring Australian soldiers who gave their lives fighting on the Western Front in the Great War 1914-1918. It features the names of those Australians who had no grave-site.

Daniel Nordberg

A magnificent military cemetery for the fallen Australian diggers of the great war. Not forgetting of course, the Kiwis, Canadians, British, French and other nationalities that died in the same battles. Their final resting place does them justice.
