Description
Broodseinde Ridge was seized by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Australian, and 7th British Division on 4 October, that day's action being known as the 'Battle of Broodseinde'. The New Zealand Division simultaneously seized the `Abraham Heights' to the north west. The photograph was taken on 5 October and shows the 24th Battalion in trenches near `Flinte Farm' beyond the crest of the ridge looking down on the woods (in the middle distance) to which the Germans had been driven. Celtic Copse can be seen in the background.
