Whats Up Down Under is all about Australia, the people, the landscape and the wonderful way of life we lead. But a tiny part of the wonderful life we have is kept alive in this beautiful French village called Villers-Bretonneux.
The history of the spirit of the Anzacs is deeply embedded in Australians, the strength of our Dawn Services and Anzac Day ceremonies is testament to that. That spirit has not only made Australia what it is today but made an enormous impact along the Western Front in the First World War – the great war – the war to end all wars.
In March 1918 the Germany army began its last major offensive and pushed the allied forces back over the hard won land in the Somme, and, on the morning of the 24th April 1918 Villers-Bretonneux fell to the German Army. The Australian 13th and 15th Brigade were tasked with the towns re-capture and ordered (by the British High Command) to begin a daylight offensive. Strangely enough the Australian officers Brigadier-Generals William Glasgow and Harold ‘Pompey’ Elliott refused!
The battle began at 10pm on the evening of the 24th April and, against all odds, by the morning of the 25th April 1918 Villers-Bretonneux was once again in allied hands. This was a significant part of the overall allied offensive that turned the tide against the German offensive and led to the Armistice on 11th November 1918.
Just three years after the landing of the Anzac forces in Gallipoli on the 25th April 1915, the date was, once again, cemented in our history and now the history of Villers-Bretonneux. Now for a few days each year this French village becomes part of Australia. The Australian flag is flown proud and high, the shop windows are decorated with all things Australia, and our national sport becomes a village event.
For the past three years an AFL match has been played between an Australian team, usually drawn from expats living in London and a few others who know how to play, against a French AFL team, drawn from members of the seven AFL teams in France. This hard fought game, with each team playing for their country, is played on a farmers field suitably named the Memorial Stadium which does not assist with the bounce of the ball, and is a challenge for weak ankles. This year the Australian team was victorious with 22 15 147 and France 2 2 14, which helped to restore the Australians pride after loosing in 2010.
The Australian days culminate in Anzac Day, with a host of ceremonies and celebrations throughout the area, which are supported in droves by the local residents. Australia is an everyday reality here, the school courtyard is dominated by a sign Do Not Forget Australia.
Anzac Day Dawn Service at Villers-Bretonneux Australian War Memorial is very emotional. There is something quite rare about the silence of the thousands (young and old) attending, the remembering of family who were lost, the joint understanding of the need for peace and the ready intermingling of two nations as one.
Villers-Bretonneux is Australian for these precious days, Australia is always part of Villers-Bretonneux and the bonds that exist can only grow stronger.
