In the First World War more than 80% of Australians killed lost their lives on the main battlefield, facing the main force of the main enemy. That battlefield was the Western Front where the Australians and New Zealanders were constantly engaged from early in 1916 until the Armistice, late in 1918. This series tells the stories of the ANZACs on the Western Front, from their first engagement in a small trench raid until their final triumph as an instrumental part of the “100 Day” advance that led to victory. Through graphics, archive, oral history and their travels across the battlefields today Neil Pigot and eminent military historian Dr. Peter Pedersen explain where, how and why the ANZACs fought in France and Belgium almost 100 years ago.
