Follow his battle at Gallipoli, he was sent to the Western Front, impressing time and time again.

Chris previewed the new Sir John Monash Centre at Villers-Bretonneux, describing it as the “highlight” of his trip so far.

“The centre puts you right in the thick of it.

“You cannot get a closer experience of what these men went through on the battlefield.

“I had goosebumps.”
