EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative detail from the Australian 5th Division Memorial at Polygon Wood in Belgium pays tribute to the sacrifices made by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) during the First World War. The memorial, which was unveiled in 1927, stands proudly atop the old rifle buttes used for musketry training before 1870. The buttes, now replanted, once housed a trotting course inside. The memorial is located near the town of Ypres, in the Ieper Salient, a region of intense fighting during World War I. The 5th Australian Division played a significant role in the Battle of Polygon Wood, which took place on September 26, 1917. The battle was a crucial engagement in the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as Passchendaele, and resulted in the capture of the wooded area from the German forces. The memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the ANZAC soldiers who fought in this brutal campaign. The detail shows the intricate carving of a soldier's helmet and rifle, symbolizing the dedication and sacrifice of the men who served in the 5th Australian Division during World War I. This image was captured in 2016, a reminder that the legacy of the ANZAC soldiers continues to be honored and remembered.
