Description
A view of the cross erected over a trench at Pozieres, in memory of the Australians of the 4th Battalion, AIF, who fell in the fighting on the Pozieres battlefield in August 1916. Added significance is given to the memorial by the fact that its location is above the trench from which the Battalion attacked and overlooks the Copse which was the first objective.
