Resolve

It is 1917 and the Anzacs are involved in the seminal battles of Bullecourt, Ypres, Messines and Menin Road. The year starts for the Australians with success but when the Germans counter-attack the Australians are overwhelmed at a place called Bullecourt, a significant German breakthrough seems imminent. But, as we will see as we walk the battlefield, 4000 Australians rally and hold the line against 16,000 Germans, VCs are awarded (Captain Percy Cherry's story is particularly inspiring). And then disaster - a renewed offensive at Bullecourt is a textbook example of things that can go wrong, including the failure of the early tanks. The Australians withstand counter-attacks and hold the line but the cost is 7000 men.
