Pozieres Trailer
A captivating step back in time, Pozieres explores the small village in Northern France which, during the Great War in 1916, was the setting of one of the bloodiest battles in history, a twentieth century tragedy. The village was stormed and captured by Australians and became key to the success of the Battle for the Somme. But in less than seven weeks they suffered twenty three thousand casualties for this tiny patch of otherwise peaceful earth. Throughout history many have been both touched and haunted in some way by this village. A thoroughly researched and thought-provoking presentation, Pozieres investigates the circumstances and surrounds, the soldiers in the fields and trenches, railway carriages in Egypt and the Australian bush, piecing together the story of a place that is, according to historian Charles Bean, more densely sown with Australian sacrifice than any other place on earth. 2000 Australian Film Commission, Cinemedia Corporation and Elm Films Pty Ltd

Australian Memorial, Windmill Bunker site, Pozieres, France
The First Day of the Battle of the Somme, 1st July 1916, was the bloodiest day in the history of the British/Commonwealth army.
This video, in which I make several errors (I have left them in and added sub titles where needed)focuses on the Australian Memorial site close to the German windmill observation bunker.
Paired with the Gibralter observation bunker to the west of Pozieres, this observation point, on a slightly raised plateau, gave the German Army a significant advantage over the advancing Commonwealth soldiers (Australian in this area).
Want to travel to this location but do not know how to find it? Battlefields By GPS ( has self-drive tours of the Somme with full GPS packages for Garmin sat nav devices.
