The first major battle for Australian and New Zealand soldiers took place on the Western Front in France. The Western Front took the life of 46,000 Anzac soldiers and gave lifelong mental scarring for the other survivors, Encyclopedia Britannica 2018 Gives a glimpse of destruction after the gruesome, war-torn area. During the Western Front, the Anzac soldiers were required to take the Town of Villers-Bretonneux, back from the German soldiers. The town of Villers-Bretonneux was a trading port for the allies, which was taken by the Germans on the 23rd April 1918, this was the spring point for the 100-day offensive, where the allies pushed the central powers back past Belgium from France (Australians on the Western Front. 2018.) The Anzacs on the Western Front contributed majorly to the success of the offensive and proved why they, as Anzacs should have significantly more recognition than what they do
