Mont St Quentin, Peronne, France. c. 1925. The original Memorial to the men of the 2nd Division A.I.F, featuring an heroic bronze statue of a Digger bayoneting an Imperial German eagle. A bronze plague on the pedestal reads 'To the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the 2nd Australian Division who fought in France and Belgium in the Great War 1916, 1917, 1918.'
Several wreaths have been laid at the base of the Memorial, including one from the Le Conseil Municipal and another with a ribbon that reads: 'To our comrades of the Second Australian Division from the British Army.' The statue on top of the Memorial and the bas reliefs on its sides were removed by the occupying German Army in 1940, they were later replaced with a new statue and new reliefs.

You gotta love the French. Blue and red uniforms, polished steel body armor and horsehair plumed helmets. Quite aside from the visibility problems, this must have been one heck of a heat-generating uniform under the August sun. :rolleyes2: -- Al
