Pheasant Wood Military Cemetery

The Pheasant Wood Military Cemetery, located in northern France, serves as the final resting place for Australian, British, and Commonwealth soldiers who perished during the Battle of Fromelles on July 19, 1916. Dedicated in 2010, it was established following the discovery and exhumation of mass graves, marking the first new World War I cemetery in the region in 50 years. Visitors today can pay their respects among the rows of neatly arranged headstones, each a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during one of the war’s most devastating battles.
