ANZAC Battlefields: The Western Front

ANZAC troops dig into trench warfare along the Western Front in early 1916.

The Anzacs learn the horrors of industrialized warfare, including gas, tanks and machine guns.

In 1917, the Anzacs were involved in the battles of Bullecourt, Ypres, Messines and Menin Road.

ANZAC battalions fight while artillery sinks in liquid mud at Passchendaele.

The Anzac's feel the brunt of Germany's Operation Michael, the biggest offensive of World War I.

As the Germans retreated toward the Hindenburg Line, they attempted a scorched earth policy.
