Really well done museum, dedicated to a tragic battle. Really helpful and informed staff. Adjacent to the is a cemetery that was only developed this century. Well done to all in finding so many ancestors of these men and inscribing a name to an unmarked grave. We visited here again as ten years ago it had just been announced. The Commonwealth War Grave was moving and as they all are, a symbol of the gallantry of those fought here. The brings this story to life and shows the resilience of the soldiers of all nations who fought here. The displays are excellent, the interactive elements humanise the people who fought here and also tell their families story as well. Very moving and the staff are amazing. Geoffrey one of the historians talked to us for ages and he said they like any information that relatives can provide about the soldiers buried here. Please visit if you are here. Excellent museum. Very moving displays with a real feel for how senseless it all was For 3 euros it is great. Good information, nice picnic tables outside and a cemetery of ANZACS. Good parking and the use of their toilets is allowed even if you don't visit. Well worth a visit. However, be prepared to get emotional about some things. The Musium & exhibits tell the story of this forgotten battle. The work to recover the remains and identify them is amazing. So many families have found out about their relatives and their eventual resting place. Excellent small honouring Australian and Allied forces. Great content and service. Only issue is the cost. Im not sure who owns the but it should be for free like many in the Somme. Very interesting little well worth a visit Respect to all the brave men Lovely little with alot of interesting artefacts and dioramas depicting life in the trenches. A good place to visit, to remember and reflect. The also has the most excellent staff who helped book our return bus for us on the ilevia app. Thankyou so much.
