On May 2, there was again sharp fighting near the Monument, but during the following weeks, the enemy ceased their attacks. The Australians, by local operations, enlarged their positions north-east of Villers-Bretonneux and between Villers and the Somme. On the night of May 23, the enemy violently bombarded Villers, and on the 25th made another powerful effort south of the village, but without success.

Follow G.C. 23, which runs close to Hangard Wood, the trees of which were devastated by the shells. (See map, p. 62.)

Descend from the plateau to Demuin, visible at the bottom of the valley of the Luce. There is a large British cemetery on the right. Tourists may here turn to the right as far as Hangard. (See p. 66.)
