The sweep of country below Messines Ridge to the heights of Notre Dame de Lorette and Vimy Ridge seems unremitting in its flatness and lack of features. How much more so must this have seemed to the soldiers after the destruction wrought in the area of the Front Line in the fighting of 1914 and 1915. And what a contrast, in particular, for those Australian soldiers who had seen action in the arid and rugged terrain of Gallipoli.
