Bullecourt and Australian victories in 1918…
Runs every Wednesday.
This Day Tour starts on the Bullecourt battlefield, where the Australians took on the mighty Hindenburg Line. The first time the line was broken but at a tremendous cost. A visit to Mont-St. Quentin and the Historial de la Grande Guerre prepares us for lunch nearby in the center of Peronne.
The enemy was “on the run” and there was no stopping the Allies “for the end was now in sight”!
In the afternoon we move east to arrive in the area of those last Australian actions. Under the guidance of General Monash, Australians advanced east past the St Quentin Canal before being taken out of the front line for their well-deserved rest. The fighting would be over before they were made ready once again.
