Walking around the museum and then visiting the adjoining cemetery made for a very moving experience. I have no links with Australia but found this emotional nevertheless. So many young men who were so far from home.
Well worth a visit.

I went to Fromelles because my Great Uncle remains, who was killed in the Battle of Fromelles on July 19th 1916, were located in a mass grave and were re-interred in a single grave.
The new Commonwealth War Grave site truly honours the soldiers who were killed there. Many of whom were not found or identified.
The Museum attached to the grave and Memorial is brilliant. Besides having great information on the battle, it has an immersive experience. We sat in a large round space where life size photos of the trenches were displayed. Accompanying this were the sounds of the battle with strobe lights and smoke. It produced just a taste of what it was like for the men who fought there.
We were shown on a map of the site how the battle was conducted. It made me very proud of the Australians who fought there. They achieved their objective of breaking through the German lines. Unfortunately the British did not and retreated and this allowed for the Germans fighting them to reinforce those fighting the Australians who were then also forced to retreat. My Great Uncle was part of a Machine Gun Squad who was tasked to cover the retreat. What brave men they were.
It was poignant to see this site and the way those who fell are honoured. It is sad that so many were killed. To date, in a battle, it is the largest loss of life for Australians in a single day. Out of a battalion of 10,000 men, 5,533 were casualties. It made me angry because it was a pointless battle. It was ill conceived and executed by the generals. They used the Australians as "cannon fodder". Yet, the Australians achieved their objective and this made me very proud.
My Great uncle fought in two battles. Gallipoli and Fromelles. Both failures and both pointless. He was a brave man and I am glad that I was able to honour him 103 years to the day he died.

pijltjes gevolgd en hier vonden we een modern maar mooi ingericht museum, dat goed een beeld geeft wat zich hier in de Somme tussen 1914-18 afgespeeld heeft.

Petit mais très riche quant à son contenu, ce musée commémore sur les lieux mêmes de la bataille de Fromelles à 20 km. de Lille une tragédie qui a fait sur 48h. plus de 10000 morts !!! Se faisaient faces troupes allemandes et troupes Anglo Australiennes. Le déclenchement d'une attaque par les alliés a tourné au désastre quand ils furent pris en étau par les Allemands. Equipes d'un audio-guide , après des vidéo sur le village et le champ de ruine qu'il en restera, le musée illustre d'abord grandeur nature l'installation et la vie dans les casemates qui se faisaient face. Puis sont exposés de même manière de très nombreux objets retrouvés lors de fouilles sur les lieux: armes, insignes, objets personnels plus ou moins touchants parfois comme quasi neufs. Au centre d'une demi rotonde une grande table de 3m/3m avec un système vidéo permet de voir se dérouler cette tragédie. Une autre grande carte murale permet de voir l'origine de ses soldats, l'exposition se terminant par des photos d'une vingtaine d'entre eux accompagnées d'un petit texte.
A noter une petite boutique fort pertinente et une mini cafétéria. Un accueil en tous cas très avenant... Compter au moins une heure et intéressant tant les adultes que les enfants à partir de 7 8ans...

This museum opened in July 2014, and is located alongside the Commonwealth cemetery where those soldiers, the majority of them Australian, are buried.
The Battle of Fromelles was the first major action involving Australian troops on the Western Front and is remembered as one of the bloodiest days in Australian military history. The Australians suffered more than 5,500 casualties, including almost 2,000 killed. The 61st British Division lost over 1,500 men, with more than 500 dead. The museum building lies just a few hundred metres from Pheasant Wood, where the remains of 250 soldiers, buried according to German military custom, were found in 2008 on the outskirts of the village of Fromelles. Perhaps the most poignant feature of the Fromelles Museum is a line of 21 panels telling the stories of just some of the soldiers who fell, pieced together with the help of families who took part in the identification process, following the discovery of their remains.

Museum was small but very interesting. The guide spoke great English, and told interesting things about the process of finding and identifying bodies.

Un musée malheureusement peu visité par les français car peut-être pas assez promu. Heureusement beaucoup d’australiens se déplacent pour rendre hommage à leurs parents.C’était émouvant de découvrir tous ces australiens qui au péril de leur vie, sont venus nous aider.
Le musée est très bien présenté et des audiophones sont distribués. Nous pouvons ainsi découvrir les histoires poignantes à notre rythme.
Bravo au personnel, ils sont tous très aimables et disposés à nous rendre service.
A proximité , vous pourrez aussi visiter les cimetières des soldats tombés pour nous défendre. Tous n’ont pas été identifiés.

In a very serene modern building in Fromelles there is a museum dedicated to the Australians who fought in this battle. If there isn’t a movie about this already, there ought to be one. It was a slaughterhouse, as were so many of the battlefields on the western front, but many of the Australian soldiers who lay wounded in no man’s land for three days were heroically saved by the soldiers who could hear their cries. Recently additional remains were identified and a ceremony was held on July 19th, a very sad day for Australia. This small museum is very well curated and if you’re visiting WWI sites this is a must. Staff is very helpful and there are tables for enjoying your lunch before setting off on the 8.5k hike along the battlefield. There’s a marker for the German frontline; Adolf Hitler reportedly fought here.

I have a great uncle who was killed near Fromelles. I did the walk around the walk trail as sign-posted, out to the Australian Memorial. It was well worth while, visiting the German bunker on the way out (a little hard to find). Make sure you get the booklet that explains the walk and the things to see. Then I visited this museum and it is well worth the time. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the displays are excellent - interactive and interesting. I came away with a much better understanding of this battle and the aftermath. Just make sure it will be open before you get there.

We arrived at Fromelles to explore my Grandads first & nearly last Battle ! It was a Tuesday and the Museum is Closed !! Staff on site but no visitors ! The woman was actually rather rude when we knocked on the door, not knowing it was closed then ! It was just past opening time we thought , silly Us ! Anyway , luckily armed with other Info we followed his footsteps and the following photos are a tribute to my Grandfather who fought at Fromelles for the French & others , was wounded in the Groin (ouch) and stayed the course to the end ! A very lucky Digger I reckon ? The Museum is supposed to be good & promotes Australian-French Friendship, just get there when Open ?
