Mont Saint-Quentin Australian war memorial, War memorial on Mont Saint-Quentin, Péronne, France.
The memorial features a bronze statue of an Australian soldier in a contemplative pose, accompanied by detailed bronze bas-reliefs depicting military scenes.
The 2nd Australian Division captured Mont Saint-Quentin in September 1918, marking a critical victory that forced German forces to retreat to the Hindenburg Line.
The monument represents the strong connection between France and Australia, commemorating the service of Australian soldiers who fought on French soil during World War I.
Located on the Bapaume-Péronne road D1017, the memorial includes interpretation panels explaining the military operations and the significance of the site.
The original 1925 statue showing an Australian soldier bayoneting a German eagle was removed during World War II and replaced in 1971 with a different design.
