| Australian War Memorial en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_War_Memorial |
widely regarded as one of the most significant memorials of its type in the world.
The Memorial is located in Australia's capital, Canberra. It is the north terminus of the
city's ceremonial land axis, which stretches from Parliament House on Capital Hill along
a line passing through the summit of the cone-shaped Mount Ainslie to the northeast.
No continuous roadway links the two points, but there is a clear line of sight from the
front balcony of Parliament House to the War Memorial, and from the front steps of the
War Memorial back to Parliament House.
The Australian War Memorial consists of three parts: the Commemorative Area (shrine)
including the Hall of Memory with the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier, the
Memorial's galleries (museum) and Research Centre (records). The Memorial also has
an outdoor Sculpture Garden. The Memorial is currently open daily from 10am until
5pm, except on Christmas Day.
Many people include Anzac Parade as part of the Australian War Memorial because of
the Parade's physical design leading up to the War Memorial, but it is maintained
separately by the National Capital Authority (NCA)

How Ida Solved the Puzzle |
| Tried googling what I could read in a zoomed image (brigade 14, Livingston WJ) and failed. Then, since the words "memorial" or "wall" would take me nowhere, I tried for "red flower memorial day". That got me to the wikipedia page of the Remembrance poppy. That answered question number 3 and provided the next clue. "remembrance day hanging poppies" gave me an image of the place (after scrolling down a bit), and by clicking on it, an article in The Guardian compiling different pictures of Remembrance Day throughout the Commonwealth, found the name of the place. Went to its wikipedia from there. Ida Sanchez |
| 'We've done them proud': huge Anzac Day turnout at Australian War Memorial www.theguardian.com/news/2015/apr/25/ |
| Crowd of 120,000 people – more than double the expected number – gathers in Canberra to commemorate 100th anniversary of Gallipoli landing. An estimated 120,000 people have lined the mall in front of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra for an Anzac Day dawn service that reflected on the “awful cost” of armed conflict. Organisers praised the “extraordinary” turnout, which was well above the 50,000 predicted to attend and the 37,000 who paid their respects last year. The number of people at the 5.30am service was equal to a third of Canberra’s population, although the figure included those who travelled from other states to join commemorations in Australia’s capital. Many attendees felt a stronger duty to attend Saturday’s event because it marked the 100th centenary of the Anzac troops landing in Gallipoli, Turkey, in 1915. “This morning we’ve done them proud,” said Brendan Nelson, director of the Australian War Memorial, referring to the Anzacs. “There are people who would not normally come to a dawn service who made it their business and priority to be here.” The historical significance of the occasion was referred to by many of the speakers. The soon-to-retire chief of the army, Lieutenant General David Morrison, reflected on the plight of those “who had crossed a foreign shore 100 years ago this morning” and had “improbably survived” the bloody battles, returning home scarred by war. “If war is a sin against humanity, as some would hold, then war itself is punishment for that sin, compounded by its endless repetition and its hold on those who have experienced its terrors,” he said. “Such was the mark many brought home to their families, who continued, as so many families have and still do, to live daily with the indelible memories of those who have fought and who cannot let go.” Morrison said Anzac commemorations served as a reminder of how the country could be courageous, compassionate, resolute and resilient in the face of an unknown future. And he argued there was “a line that connects all of us to those who lived in this country 100 years ago”. “It is given physical substance in the architecture of our cities and the agricultural endeavours of our pioneers,” Morrison said, before emphasising a message of inclusion. “It is a line made more whole by the recognition of the First People of this land and our sorrow for their treatment. It is a line given colour and vibrancy by our cultural richness and diversity, drawn as it is from migrants from all corners of our world. It is a line rooted in our freedom of expression and of belief and the affirmation of our democratic nation-state. “That is why we remember them – the first Anzacs and all of those who followed.” An air force chaplain, Peter Friend, said the Anzacs who landed at Gallipoli “established an imperishable tradition of selfless service, of devotion to duty and of fighting for all that is best in human relationships”. “Our enemy at Gallipoli is now a close family friend. The Turkish people are now the respectful custodians of the human remains of our Anzac dead,” he said. Leading the service in prayer, Friend asked for help “to be a nation that desires peace over war and negotiations over armed conflict” and that engaged with the region and world “in pursuit of peace and a fair go for all”. He also referred to the 102,000 Australians who have died in war. “We ask for your comfort for the families and loved ones of those who have been killed and injured in armed conflict. They carry that awful cost every day. Help us to support them as we are able.” Army Corporal Dan Keighran, who was awarded a Victoria Cross for protecting a comrade by deliberately exposing himself to enemy fire in Afghanistan in 2010, said he felt an affinity with the Anzacs. “World War One was a vast human tragedy. It had profound, devastating, enduring consequences for all Australians. Fourteen years after federation Australia was thrown out into the international stadium; they wanted to prove themselves,” Keighran said. “One hundred years on we do think back – and I do myself – to the sacrifices, the courage, the tenacity that those original Anzacs had to go through. It’s truly amazing.” The spirit of mateship remained strong in the Australian defence force, Keighran said. |
