2018 holds a special significance for Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the World as we look to mark 100 Years since our Nation's involvement in the First World War and to honour those impacted by the events that took place.
Throughout early April in 1918, Australian units helped defend Villers-Bretonneux from this onslaught, but at dawn on the 24th the Germans attacked and captured the town.
Leading the British counter attack, the Australian 13th and 15th Brigades enveloped the town and successfully cleared it of Germans on the 25th of April, the third anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli.
Services are to be held around the Central Coast on the 25th of April, not only mark the 103rd anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli, but also to commemorate this remarkable action at Villers-Bretonneux , which effectively ended the German offensive launched a month prior.
We encourage everyone to get out and support the Anzac Day services and marches across the Coast and recognise this as a very important milestone in our nation’s history.
