Battle of Pozieres remembered

A remembrance service to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Pozieres was held at Peninsula Village, Umina, on Saturday July 23.

Peninsula Village has a connection to the battle as the aged care organisation is located on Pozieres Ave, named after the French village.

The ceremony honoured the Australians who fought during the battle in France.

The Battle of Pozieres was a two-week struggle for the French village of Pozieres and the ridge on which it stands, in mid-1916 in which the Australian army suffered more than 12,000 casualties.

Ex-servicemen, residents, staff and locals attended the special ceremony.
