This memorial is known as a Ross Bastiaan marker after its designer, an Australian periodontist who had the idea for placing the bronze memorials on battlefields significant to Australian history in both World War I and World War II. The inscription reads, in part: "The ruin of Pozières windmill which lies here was the centre of the struggle in the part of the Somme Battlefields in July and August 1916. It was captured on 4 August by the Australian troops who fell more thickly on this ridge than on any other battlefield of the war."
