Greenslopes Private Hospital dedicates this memorial to the service and sacrifice of Australian men and women who have gone to war to protect our freedom. They taught us about the virtues of courage, selflessness, compassion and mateship. They created the Anzac Spirit and provided us with a deeper understanding of what it means to be Australian.
