Aubers

Highlight • Other

Aubers is best known for the Battle of Aubers Ridge during World War I. This battle took place on 9 May 1915 and was an attempt by British troops to break through the German lines. Unfortunately, the attack failed, resulting in heavy casualties without significant territorial gains.

An interesting anecdote about the Battle of Aubers Ridge concerns the difficult conditions under which the soldiers fought. The attack began with an artillery barrage that did little to damage the German trenches, leaving the British soldiers exposed to heavy machine gun fire as they advanced. This resulted in a large number of casualties and is often cited as an example of the grim reality of trench warfare.

The Cobbers Australian Memorial is located in the Australian Memorial Park near Fromelles. This memorial commemorates the Australian soldiers who died during the Battle of Fromelles on 19-20 July 1916. The statue, designed by Peter Corlett, shows Sergeant Simon Fraser carrying a wounded comrade out of no man's land. The name "Cobbers" comes from a letter Fraser wrote, describing the bravery and camaraderie of the soldiers.

Calvary of Captain Paul Adrian Kennedy

Highlight • Monument

Attacking in a southerly direction, Capt Kennedy was shot while leading 'B' Company in the Battle of Aubers Ridge. He and his men had got well beyond the German line which ran roughly east-west where the preserved bunkers are today. His mother later wrote "He had crossed the road and was on the Fromelles side of it when he was shot by a sniper. His men tried to carry him back but he was terribly wounded and after they had carried him back across the road he told them to put him down..."
Capt P A Kennedy, 2/Rifle Brigade
Killed in action 9 May 1915.
No known grave. Remembered on the Ploegsteert Memorial.
