ANZAC Statues
Great thread Jeff, thanks for starting it.
I've posted a few iconic statues depicting Australian's in War. Just about every town in Australia has a local war memorial, usually a marble statue showing a WW1 Digger with his rifle reversed, or a bugler playing the Last Post.
The first statue is a memorial to the Australian Light Horse located in Tamworth NSW. It portrays the bond between the trooper and his mount.
The second statue is called "Cobbers" and sits in the Fromelles battlefield memorial in France where 5,500 Diggers were killed in one day. It remains the most disasterous day in Australian military history.
The third statue depicts as Australian Mounted Artillery Driver and is located in Sydney (very similar to a 75mm figure produced by Fusiliers not long ago).
The fourth statue is situated at Mont St. Quentin in France and depicts an Australian Digger from WW1. The capture of Mont St. Quentin by a single Australian Brigade is widely regarded by many war historians, and by the Allied Generals at the time, as the greatest single feat of arms in the war on the Western Front.
The fifth statue is the iconic Digger statue on ANZAC Bridge in Sydney.
The last statue is located at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and depicts Simpson and his Donkey. Simpson was with the Field Ambulance at Gallipoli and used the donkey to carry wounded men back to the beach for medical treatment and/or evacuation to hospital, usually under intense sniper and artillery fire. Both Simpson and his donkey were later killed in action rescuing the wounded.
