Gîte near Fromelles

The B&B is 4 km from Fromelles Military Cemetery, where a diversionary battle took place in July 1916. Australian soldiers took part in their first operation on the European front, in support of the Battle of the Somme. Sadly, the battle resulted in almost 5,500 casualties for Australian troops, including 1,800 missing. In summer 2009, an archaeological dig campaign carried out in the vicinity of Pheasant Wood recovered the bodies of 250 Australian and British soldiers buried in pits by German forces after the battle. The remains were then reburied in the first Commonwealth military cemetery to be created since the end of the Second World War. On July 19, 2010, the Australian, British and French authorities solemnly inaugurated the cemetery in tribute to the soldiers who fell in the Battle of Fromelles.
