On 11 April 1917 the Allied offensive on the Western Front at Arras and Vimy Ridge had been underway for two days when General Gough, chief of the British 5th Army, launched an attack on the Hindenburg Line between the villages of Quéant and Bullecourt. With no support from heavy artillery, the Australian 4th Division and the British 62nd Division relied on 12 tanks to breach the German defence. The tanks arrived late and, suffering technical problems, were soon pinned down by German fire and rendered useless. With the German defences almost intact, and with no possibility of breaching them, the Allied soldiers could only retreat. The Diggers of Bullecourt A few days later, on 3 May, Allied command ordered a second attack. Once again the British 62nd Division went to battle but this time alongside the Australian 2nd Division who refused tank support. Despite artillery support and reinforcements in the shape of the Australian 1st and 5th Divisions, the second Battle of Bullecourt developed into a tragic repetition of the first. The Australians managed to establish a foothold in the village but at a cost of 7,000 additional losses. In all, nearly 10,000 men of the Australian Imperial Force were killed or wounded. In 1993 the Australian Memorial Park of Bullecourt inaugurated the statue of a digger to honour the memory of the Australian soldiers who fell in these two battles. 'Digger' was the affectionate name used among the Australian soldiers to refer to their comrades and aptly reflects the nature of trench warfare. Sculpted by the artist Peter Corlett, who also carved the Cobber of Fromelles, the Digger of Bullecourt proudly bears the symbols of the Australian Forces: a slouch hat decorated with the Rising Sun badge. Every year on ANZAC Day (25 April) the Australian Ambassador to France presides over a ceremony to commemorate all the Australian soldiers who lost their lives in the Great War.

Weapons, cigarette cases, razors, dixies, helmets… these objects found on the battlefield and assembled by Jean and Denise Letaille, a couple of farmers, tell the story of the Australian soldiers who fought in April and May 1917 in the Bullecourt region. A museum where the objects tell the story!

Located in the south of the Artois region, the village of Bullecourt is probably better known in Australia than in France! The site of the Battles of Arras in the spring of 1917, this village was classified as a red zone after the First World War, and can be explored on a tour of the countryside and memorial sites. You'll be impressed by its rural heritage from the Reconstruction period: artesian farms, the town hall with its characteristic pediment and the church with its sandstone bell tower and porch.

Just 20 minutes east of Arras, Saudemont is renowned for its waterside nature and its eponymous angels. The "Angels of Saudemont", polychrome wooden sculptures from the Middle Ages, are now housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Arras. Copies have been placed in the chapel of Christ, where they once stood. In addition to this history, Saudemont is home to the only church in the area whose 12th-century Cluniac-style bell tower survived the ravages of the First World War. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1928.

Water is at the heart of Écourt-Saint-Quentin. The commune is literally surrounded by the marshes of Saudemont, Becquerel and Grand Clair.

With its gently sloping watering hole, and the trees flowing into it, Haucourt is like stepping into a Corot painting.
