This is not the type of corner I was thinking of
when I began my search for ‘corner’ photos.
However, VC Corner, near Fromelles in France…
…was the site of some terrible fighting.
No VCs, (Victoria Crosses…our
highest bravery award at the time)
were awarded during that battle.
V.C. Corner Cemetery contains the graves of 410 Australian soldiers
who died and whose bodies were found on the battlefield.
However, not a single body could be identified.

Agree totally….it was heartbreaking to see so many young lives cut short. My wife’s cousin asked me to see if I could find some of her relative’s graves…which I did. They were 18, 23 and 26 years of age when they died.
