Remembrance: Honoring the Battle of Beaumetz
Beaumetz Street stands as a living memorial to the Battle of Beaumetz, a significant engagement fought by Australian troops during World War I. In February 1917, as German forces withdrew to the Hindenburg Line, Australian divisions pursued them across the Somme region in France, engaging in fierce combat around several small villages including Beaumetz.
The battle’s intensity was captured in the Creswick Advertiser on March 30, 1917, which reported: “The Australians fighting on the road at Cambrai encountered the stiffest opposition. An Australian division took Beaumetz…The Germans twice attacked the Australians with bombs north-west of Beaumetz, compelling a withdrawal towards the village. The Australians, reinforced and counter-attacked.” The report noted the “great superiority of the Australians” as they recaptured farm ruins in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Today, Beaumetz Street serves as a permanent reminder of both the battleground and cemetery in France where Australian soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice. As part of Brisbane’s Streets of Remembrance, it honors the Anzac spirit and Queensland’s service men and women who fought so valiantly on foreign soil.
