Anzac Day 2021

Published by Jennie Knight on

We took a drive out in honour of ANZAC Day to visit some of the local villages that are especially associated with Australian and New Zealand Forces. Digger Cote 160 had organized a small ceremony at dawn in Pozières, a church service was held in the afternoon at Bullecourt and representatives from the New Zealand Embassy in Paris laid flowers in Longueval.
