Terrain Challenge is a game where community users submit an image of somewhere on earth made famous or notable by a conflict. Viewers must take the clues from the image and guess solve the location. You can see all past winners and contest rules in the Terrain Challenge Thread in the forums. Here's the latest one submitted by Sapper_D. No hints

Well done Diggin'!
Just too easy for a WW1 expert such as yourself.
It is indeed the village of Pozieres, of note is the monument in the left-hand corner which marks the position of the formidable Gibraltar pillbox.
This battle was the first major West Front attack made by the AIF and was noted for the intense German bombardment endured by the Australians - some considered it the worst experienced by the AIF. Pozieres indeed showed the Australians just what combat on the Western Front would be like.

A slight amendment:
The memorial is near where the Gibraltar pillbox stood, it doesn't mark the exact spot...sorry for that error.
Hey Sapper! Alive and kickig again? You were considered MIA and Tim and I thought you were lost in the trenches! Nearly thought of adding your name at Menin Gate, though!
cheers
