Gibraltar Blockhouse Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The foundations of the blockhouse, captured by the Australians on July 14, 1916, are still visible. It was actually an old cellar that had been reinforced and accessed through a concrete entrance.
The village of Pozières had been heavily fortified by the Germans (defended by nearly 200 machine guns). It was located on a ridge (elevation 160) crossed by a double network of trenches. Two enormous blockhouses dominated the battlefield: "Gibraltar" at the southern entrance (coming from Albert), and "Le Moulin à Vent" at the northern entrance from Bapaume (which would not be captured until August 4).
