VILLERS BRETONNEUX
Pilgrimage to Battlefield PARIS, April 6. The Mayor ot Villers Bretonneux, in welcoming the Australian representatives visiting the cemetery, said: “Your children lie buried in the ground hallowed by their gallantry. We revere their memory equally with that of our own dead.” Mr Ferguson, one of the visiting Australians, said he was amazed to see how rebuilding had changed the entire contour of the country from what it was when he fought within half a mile. The Australians visited the various cemeteries and memorials on the battlefields.
