Villers–Bretonneux Australian National Memorial
Villers–Bretonneux Australian National Memorial, War memorial in Fouilloy, France
The monument features a central tower with wing walls listing 10,719 names of Australian soldiers who died in France without known graves.
The memorial, designed by architect Edwin Lutyens, opened on July 22, 1938, to honor Australian troops who defended France during World War I.
The site maintains records of Australian military contributions through exhibitions, photographs, and personal stories that connect visitors to World War I experiences.
Visitors can climb the memorial tower for views of former battlefields and access information about specific soldiers at the on-site documentation center.
German forces used the memorial as an observation post during World War II, leaving visible damage marks that remain on the structure today.
