World War One Wednesday

Photos of the dioramas at the Australian War Memorial. Apologies for poor photography.
Gallipoli

More Gallipoli

Palestine

Turkish gun and Turk

Light horse charge

Mont St Quentin

More Mont St Quentin

I thought that this was Hamel, but on reflection I think it is actually Dernancourt where the Aussies helped stop the Kaiserschlacht.

More Dernancourt, if that is correct.

This is either the Somme or Passchendaele or Bullecourt. I can't remember.

In the Gallipoli exhibition there is an Aussie and a Fernleaf (we only became Kiwis in France) side by side. 
Awesome museum. I was overwhelmed by the number of visitors as well. Especially those taking their kids along.Get there if you can.

    1. I was really blown away by this museum. I would rate it as one of the best I have been to in the world.
