Summary
Many of our Diggers survived Gallipoli only to lose their lives in an ill-conceived battle near the tiny French village of Fromelles. They were outnumbered two to one by an entrenched German force. In the blackest night in Australian history - 19 July 1916 - the Diggers suffered 5533 casualties, with almost 2000 killed. Against all odds, hundreds of our soldiers broke through the enemy lines, never to return. Their fate has been unknown for close to a century. Until now.
