This fortitude is often a reflection of the nations who nurtured.

Facing overwhelming odds and a poorly planned strategy, they acquitted themselves magnificently. Commemorate their courage in the new 'First and Second Battles of Bullecourt Commemorative Coin.'
Lt James Fraser Scott was one such hero who carried with him the courage of the ANZACs. His role as a soldier and artist in the Australian War Records Unit gave him a unique perspective of war.

The tumult of war is expressed with soldiers keenly observing every movement and point of attack before them. Scott's battlefield is one filled with unknown dangers which the Australian contingent are ready to engage. Scott's masterpiece is given more weight with the addition of the moving 'Bullecourt Digger' looking across the Australian Memorial Park on the battlefield grounds.
