Few countries made such a relatively heavy sacrifice as Australia during World War I. Some 330,000 Australians served in the war; 60,000 died, and 165,000 were wounded.

Fromelles is considered the bloodiest 24 hours in Australia’s military history with more than 5,500 men becoming casualties and 470 becoming prisoners of war. Just a few days later the AIF joined the fighting in the Anglo-French.
