| Summary |
The Battle of Fromelles lasted less than 24 hours, in which more than 5000 Australian soldiers were killed, wounded or taken prisoner. What was the purpose of this bloody and ultimately pointless loss of life? And why, almost a century later, did the world's attention shift to the village of Fromelles? |
