Windmill Site and Mouquet Farm (2017-04-18)

First, I apologies for the loud wind, I didn't have a fluffy attachment for the mic on my GoPro :-(

Footage and commentary about the Battle of Mouquet Farm, part of the Pozieres Offensive on the Somme. My grandfather was wounded somewhere between Mouquet Farm and the Windmill site. In the beginning of the video, below the Windmill Site, can be seen 6700 small white crosses marked out in the shape of the Rising Sun, the emblem of the Australian Digger. These crosses represent the soldiers who lost their lives in the Pozieres and Mouquet Farm fighting.
