The Australian 1st Division Memorial, Pozieres, France with the British Memorial at Thiepval visable in the distance.. "At the corner of First Australian Division Street and the Rue de L'Eglise, in its own grassed space, is the First Australian Division Memorial. The view from the memorial stretches northwards across the fields to where the tip of the great British memorial to the ‘missing’ of the battles of the Somme at Thiepval appears above the trees. To the west, the view stretches back over the countryside towards Albert."
