Just outside Bullecourt, along the Rue des Australiens and along the side road to Reincourt–les–Cagnicourt, is the Australian Memorial Park with its statue of the bronze ‘Bullecourt Digger’. He gazes out over the fields of Bullecourt where in April and May 1917 the AIF lost 10, 000 soldiers, killed or wounded, in their efforts to break into and hold part of the Hindenburg Line. On Anzac Day 1992, the Australian Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Ben Humphreys, opened the Memorial Park in the middle of which was a large cairn. The Minister felt that the cairn lacked ‘a certain something’ and suggested that some sort of bronze sculpture be erected on top of it by Anzac Day 1993. The Office of Australian War Graves then commissioned Melbourne sculptor, Peter Corlett, to produce a work that reflected the character of the Australians soldiers who had fought at Bullecourt in 1917 and that would remain relevant into the future.
