THE BATTLE OF MOUQUET FARM, SOMME VALLEY, FRANCE (10th August – 3rd September)
After the Australian forces took Pozieres they moved on to a nearby area called Mouquet Farm which was a heavily defended German position. This was a four week struggle during which thousands of Australians tried to push the British line forward just a few hundred metres to capture the farm area.
