The Somme region, and particularly Villers-Bretonneux, are drenched  with Australian history, and are attracting an ever increasing number  of  Australians. The battlefields are an eternal reminder to honour, the  bravery and sacrifice of the many Australians who found their last  resting place there.
 

Out of a population of just four and a half million, 313,000 Australians  volunteered to serve during WWI. 65% of these Australians became casualties. The then Australian Imperial Force created history on the 4th July 1918 by capturing the small town of Le Hamel, at the cost of 1,400 Australian casualties. The Somme area has a particular place in its heart for Australians and their role in the allied victory in the "War to end all Wars". Please note the Australian Corps Memorial Park at Le Hamel will be closed to visitors to late January 2008 for approximately 6 months to allow reconstruction to take place.

Our tours are guided in English by the undisputed leading expert in the battlefield sites. He mostly guides Australian visitors and he will take you to all the major sights of interest to Australians, which he knows extremely well: the William Leggat Museum, the VB cemetery and memorial, the Hamel memorial, Red Baron's crash site, Albert Museum, Pozieres, Mouquet Farm, AIF Burial Ground in Flers and Bullecourt.
