Description
The 2nd Australian Division Memorial, which is located at the side of the Bapaume-Peronne road in the village of Mont St Quentin. The occupying German army removed the original memorial, depicting a Digger about to bayonet a German eagle, in 1940. Australia replaced it with a magnificent 2.5 metre tall slouch-hatted Digger in battle dress.
