'Campaign' is a slight exaggeration for the Attack at Fromelles 19/20th July 1916. The attack was planned in early July to deter German redeployment of resources to the Somme front where the main British offensive of 1916 had started on 1st July. The attack started just before 6pm on 19th July and was all over by around 8am on 20th. It was a disaster for the Imperial 61st (South Midland) Division and the 5th Australian Division and has gone down as one of the worst days in the history of Australia at war. A full account can be found in 'Fromelles 1916' by Paul Cobb (History Press 2007 ISBN 978-0-7524-4174-0)
