The striking “Cobbers” Memorial. A tall bronze figure of an Australian bringing in a wounded comrade is a tribute to the many who went into no-man’s land to bring in their wounded mates. It stands on the spot where the 14th Brigade was held overnight. It depicts a 40 year old ex-farmer from Victoria, Sergeant Simon Fraser of the 57th Battalion. Whilst out on the battlefield bringing back the wounded, Fraser heard a man shout “Don’t forget me, cobber.” Fraser brought the man back on his next venture into no-man’s land. The statue was carved by Peter Corlett of Melbourne and was inaugurated on 5th July 1998.

Fraser was later promoted to Second Lieutenant in the 58th Battalion and was killed at the second Battle of Bullecourt in 1917. His body was never recovered and is one of those commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneaux Memorial.
