Battle of Fromelles: What Can You See Today?

Join historian Mat McLachlan as he explores the poignant battlefield of Fromelles.

The Battle of Fromelles was one of the bloodiest 24 hours of the First World War. On July 19, 1916, British and Australian troops launched a diversionary attack near this French village, which ended in carnage. 5533 Australians were killed or wounded, and the name Fromelles would go down in history as a scene of devastation. Mat visits key sites on the battlefield to discover what can still be seen today, and brings the history to life with some stunning drone shots.
