• 8 Villers Bretonneux Liberated on Anzac Day 1918

  Villers-Bretonneux became famous in 1918, when the German advance on Amiens ended in the capture of the village by their tanks and infantry on 23 April. When night fell, the ANZACs stormed from their trenches and counter-attacked. A British General, who himself had won a Victoria Cross for bravery, called the ANZACs' attack "perhaps the greatest individual feat of the war". The ANZACs then had to enter the village and fight from house to house. Finally, Australian and French flags were raised over Villers-Bretonneux. The ANZACs stopped to bury their dead - 1200 Australians had been killed saving the village. It was not until they were putting the date on some makeshift crosses that they realised the date - it was ANZAC Day 1918 (April 25), three years to the day since they had stormed ashore at Gallipoli. The Australian flag is still flown at Villers-Bretonneux. It flies atop the Australian National Memorial, on which is listed the names of the 10,982 Australians killed in France who have no known grave.
