The memorial commemorates the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the First Australian Division who fought in France and Belgium in 1916, 1917 and 1918. The Battle of the Somme was a battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British and French against the Germans. It took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on either side of the River Somme and its tributary the L'Ancre in northern France. The battle was one of the largest of World War I, in which more than 1,000,000 men were wounded or killed. Today the area has many cemeteries and memorials on the sites of different parts of the battle.
