We Remember the ANZACs
Battlefields Tours commemorates the sacrifices made by the thousands of ANZACs who served during the World Wars and other battles...
<p>
During World Wars Australia and New Zealand lost over 130, 000 soldiers. On ANZAC Day we have a chance to look back and remember the sacrifices made by all involved in international conflicts and pay our respect to them.</p>

<p>
One of the Many battle ANZACs were involved in during the First World War was The Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux in which Australian troops attacked German forces which had taken the French town of Villers-Bretonneux.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The main attack was carried out on the night of 24 April 1918. By the end of 25 April the town had been recaptured and handed back to the villagers.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This battle was also the first engagement between enemy tanks, which allowed Australian soldiers to capture a German tank. Today, it is the only surviving German World War I tank and it is preserved at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane, Australia.</p>
