During the battle of the Somme in 1916 Peronne lay in the French sector ,in March 1917 the Germans retreated leaving the town in ruins.In 1918 the germans recaptured the town until September when the Australian 2nd Division finally took it..The museum was opened in a restored chateau in 1995 . Most of the uniforms and weapons on display are in pits in the floor
