Battle of Fromelles Museum

Description

The Battle of Fromelles took place on 19 and 20 July 1916 and pitted British and Australian divisions against a Bavarian division. Le choc fut terrible, en moins de 24h, on dénombre près de 8500 victimes. Many of the soldiers who died on the battlefield were never found. In 2009, a team of archaeologists unearthed the bodies of 250 British and Australian soldiers who had disappeared at Fromelles. A major identification campaign began, and with each new identity, the story of a soldier was brought to the surface. The Musée de la Bataille de Fromelles, a key place of remembrance in the region, weaves the links between this past and the present: it deals with wartime archaeology and modern techniques such as DNA research, which were used during the 2009 excavations. Reconstructions showcase the military equipment found in the old trenches at Fromelles, and the War Room details the course of the battle.
