To the People of South Australia

“The ruin of Pozieres Windmill, which lies here was at the centre of the struggle in this part of the Somme batulefjeld in July and August 1916. Australian troops fell more thickly on this ridge than on any other batulefjeld of war.” Charles W Bean

The City of Unley is proud to host this event on behalf of all South Australians and warmly welcomes all guests, in particular the descendants of South Australian servicemen who fought at Pozieres.
