On Anzac Day, 1918, a desperate night counter-attack in the French village of Villers-Bretonneux became one of Australias greatest victories. A bond was forged that night between France and Australia that has never been broken. Villers-Bretonneux is The town that never forgets. What was achieved that terrible night and what happened after is a story that, likewise, Australians should never forget.
