The most easterly of the AIF Memorials, this obelisk stands on high ground where the Hindenburg Line once barred the Allied approach.

A number of possibilities for the Divisional memorial were canvassed and finally an elevated site was selected at Les Chaudriès, north of the village of Bellenglise and overlooking the St Quentin Canal. From this point in September 1918, the main German defences of the Hindenburg Line were visible and between 18 and 24 September it was the scene of ‘an extremely successful operation’ and the ‘culminating point of the 4th Australian Division’s work in the war.
