Pozieres commemoration
Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Pozieres. Before we headed off to the ceremony, we went across the road to look at the Amiens Cathedral.
We stopped at Albert for lunch before going to the ceremony. We went to Albert airport and went through screening there before catching a shuttle bus to the ceremony held at the 1st Australuan Division monument. Organisation was very efficient and they moved large numbers of people in a short time. Images from the ceremony:
It was quite a warm day but there was a lot of water being handed out and we were given hats to wear as well.
