On 23–24 April 1918, the Germans captured Villers-Bretonneux and advanced out of the town along the railway line westwards towards Amiens. That night, 24–25 April, six battalions of the AIF counter-attacked to the south and north of the cemetery, encircling Villers-Bretonneux, and retook the town. This famous action heralded the end of the German advance of March–April 1918 in the Somme area.
