Chris Smith is broadcasting live from the Australian National War Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux, the site where the brave and magnificent efforts of Australian soldiers changed the course of WWI.

Ahead of Anzac Day commemorations, Chris spoke with Brisbane’s Voices of Birralee Choir, who will perform at the event which is marking the centenary of the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux.

He also visited the site of the Battle of Pozières where a new French-Australian primary school will act as a memorial to fallen soldiers.

Chris also visited the Sir John Monash Centre where he had an incredible experience that left him with goosebumps.

Take a look at what he’s been up to below
