Guest num Posted 28 October , 2004 Share Posted 28 October , 2004 Does anyone have any photo's of the battlefield of Bullecourt? In particular views taken from the British lines looking over to the site of the German positions. I need these for a talk I have to give and would give due recognition to the supplier of the photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat McLachlan Posted 3 November , 2004 Share Posted 3 November , 2004 Robert, Do you know exactly where that last shot was taken? Is that the sunken road on the right of the picture from which the Aussies launched their attack? Cheers, Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dunlop Posted 3 November , 2004 Share Posted 3 November , 2004 Yes, I think so Mat. It really shows what a difficult task it was. Virtually featureless terrain with the right flank enfiladed by the Germans (not seen in the photograph). Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackblue Posted 3 November , 2004 Share Posted 3 November , 2004 Have a look at the Australian War Memorial website and do a search in the Collections Database. Rgds Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Thorpe Posted 4 November , 2004 Share Posted 4 November , 2004 Hi Robert, Interesting photographs. My grandfather was wounded at Bullencourt on 29 August 1918 while fighting with 1/13th London Regiment. Do you know when these photographs were taken where they 1917 or 1918? Can you let me know.
