Following the end of the Great War thousands of memorials
were erected in suburbs and country towns across Australia. The world had
witnessed death and destruction on a scale never before seen with many
Australian families affected by a tragedy, loss, or wounding of a family member.
In response communities and government rallied to create memorials to act as focal
point for remembering the sacrifices made and to display pride in the soldiers
lost in war.
