The 1st Australian Division attacked on 23 July and within two days had taken most of the village. The 2nd Australian Division renewed the assault on 29 July but was heavily rebuffed. A second attempt on 4-5 August pushed the line beyond the ruined windmill on the village's northeastern edge. The 4th Australian Division then extended the line north towards Mouquet Farm. In six weeks the Australians suffered 23,000 casualties, almost as many as at Gallipoli.
The Australian Memorial now stands on the remains of the windmill.
