Looking along the Roman Road towards Bapaume from Hill 160, site of the Pozières windmill, the highest point on the Somme battlefield, and a July 1st objective of the British 8th Division. It was finally taken after a shocking price in blood had been paid by first the British, then the Australian 1st and 2nd and finally 4th Divisions, on the 7th August 1916, the end of the fifth week of the battle. It is 2½ miles from the July 1st start line. The Pozières ridge has been described as being "more densely sown with Australian sacrifice than any other place on earth."
