The Windmill—Pozières France




The Windmill—Pozières, France is an area of the Somme important to Australians who sacrificed so many here in 1916 during the seven weeks Battle of the Somme.

Of the 23,000 Australian Imperial Force casualties, 6,700 died.






Here's a short video clip I took at The Windmill Cemetery and Memorial 21 October, 2018.







The Windmill Site is close to Pozières on road D929 to Bapaume.
