LE MUSEE DE LA BATAILLE DE FROMELLES (59)
Le Musée de la Bataille de Fromelles, le nouveau chapitre d’une histoire commencée il y a près de cent ans. De l'ombre à la lumière, le musée de la bataille de Fromelles, accolé au cimetière du pheasand Wood
La Bataille de Fromelles eut lieu les 19 et 20 juillet 1916 et opposa des divisions britannique et australienne à une division bavaroise. Le choc fut terrible, en moins de 24h, on dénombre près de 8500 victimes. Bon nombre des soldats morts sur le champ de bataille ne furent pas retrouvés.
En 2009, une équipe d’archéologues met au jour les corps de 250 soldats britanniques et australiens disparus à Fromelles. Une grande campagne d’identification commence, et avec chaque nouvelle identité, c’est l’histoire d’un soldat qui remonte à la surface.
Suivez la bataille, les recherches archéologiques et l’histoire des soldats disparus au fil de l’exposition permanente. Découvrez une histoire qui continue de s’écrire.

Battle of Fromelles Tribute 19 July 2016
This is my video tribute today, to my paternal grandfather Keith Thomas Johnson from Warrnambool, Victoria, who was injured both physically and mentally on the Western Front, in Europe during WW1.
He came back to Warrnambool, married and had five sons. He was a hard working market gardener. He managed to work his market garden despite his disabilities. I only wish I had met him but he died just before I was born.
