Crucifix Corner marks the spot where a destroyed crucifix gave its name to the nearby cemetery of the fierce fighting of the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, April 24-26, 1918, where Australians, British and French stopped the German advance on Amiens. You can explore the graves of 660 Commonwealth soldiers, as well as 141 French and two Russians. The cemetery was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, a famous architect who also created the Thiepval Memorial and the Cenotaph in London.
