at Villers-Bretonneux by His Majesty King George VI in the presence of the President of the French Republic
Broadcast from Villers-Bretonneux

Ten miles east of Amiens is a cemetery of 2,000 graves known as Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery. To reach the Australian War Memorial one must pass through this cemetery, and here and there, on a stone, is to be read: 'An Australian infantryman known unto God'. But whoever he may have been his name is on the Memorial, which is dedicated to the Australian dead whose graves are unknown. In March 1918, over 800 Australians fell in this sector, and in April 3,000.
The unveiling of the Memorial will be the final ceremony performed by the King during his visit to France. He will say goodbye to the French President at the Memorial.
