The regiment had lost 299 of its 3,300 men in the war , The Minister for Education, Mr Colebatch, stated that funds for the memorial came in small sums from all parts of the State. The Brisbane Courier (Qld.), 9th October 1920.

At the outbreak of World War One in 1914 the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) was raised. Initially a mounted unit was not required from Western Australia however approval was given for C Squadron of the 7th Light Horse Regiment to be formed in Western Australia. The balance came from Queensland and New South Wales.

Interest was so great that it was realised that a complete Regiment could be formed by Western Australians and the 10th Light Horse Regiment was established. The Regiment first saw action on Gallipoli Peninsula as Infantry; their baptism of fire being at Quinn`s Post and Pope`s Hill. As part of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade, the Regiment, together with the 8th Light Horse Regiment was involved in the action at The Nek where both units showed outstanding gallantry but suffered severely.

The only Victoria Cross gained by an Australian Light Horse unit was won on Gallipoli by Second-Lieutenant H.V. Throssell of 10th Light Horse at Hill 60 in August 1915.

The formation of the 4th Light Horse Brigade, and the 11th Light Horse Regiment as part of it, was announced on 11 February 1915. Two squadrons of the 11th Light Horse were subsequently formed in Queensland, and a third in South Australia. The regiment was united for the first time at Fraser's Paddock Camp, outside Brisbane, on 2 May 1915. It sailed from Australia in two contingents in June 1915.

Compared to some AIF battalions, the 41st’s experience of the battles in Belgium during 1917 was relatively straightforward. It had a supporting role at Messines on 7 June, captured its objectives at Broodseinde on 4 October with little difficulty, and was spared the carnage of Passchendaele on 12 October.

The 41st participated in its last major action of the war between 29 September and 2 October 1918 as part of the Australian-American operation that breached the formidable defences of the Hindenburg Line along the St Quentin Canal.

The cross was returned by the memorial authorities to Australia after World War One and was handed over to the 51st Militia Battalion at Ryde New South Wales.



The cross had been erected on the battlefield by Sergeant Joe Tunnecliffe of Yanchep. Shells were roaring overhead as a memorial service was conducted by the chaplain of the 13th Brigade Padre Donald Blackwood. Because the 51st Battalion was largely a West Australian Unit, The State Executive of the RSL sought a transfer of the cross to St George`s Cathedral in Perth. In 1949, the parishioners at Ryde voted against a transfer. The West Australian (Perth), 18th January 1950.

In 1956, by mutual agreement between the parishioners of the church and the 51st Battalion AIF Association, the cross was transferred to St George`s Cathedral in Perth.

During the 1920`s architect Louis Harrison submitted a design for approval - a simpler version being the one eventually built in 1925 by Albury contractor T H Bartleson. The foundation stone was laid in November 1924 as part of the Hume and Hovell centenary celebrations. The cost of the memorial exceeded  ₤2000.    

Albury Methodist Circuit Honour Roll

The World War One Roll of Honour is a white marble honour roll with gold lettering . It honours those who died and those who returned.

The Lone Pine was the name given to a solitary Aleppo Pine tree on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, which marked the site of the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915 during World War One and it was the sole survivor of a group of trees that had been cut down by Turkish soldiers who had used the timber and branches to cover their trenches.

The tree was obliterated during the battle; however, pine cones that had remained attached to the cut branches over the trenches were retrieved by two Australian soldiers and brought home to Australia. Private Thomas Keith McDowell, a soldier of the 23rd battalion brought a pine cone from the battle site back to Australia, and many years later seeds from the cone were planted by his wife's aunt Emma Gray of Grassmere, near Warrnambool, Victoria and five seedlings emerged, with four surviving. These seedlings were planted in four different locations in Victoria: Wattle Park (May 8, 1933), the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne (June 11, 1933), the Soldiers Memorial Hall at The Sisters near Terang (June 18, 1933) and Warrnambool Botanic Gardens (January 23, 1934).

Another soldier, Lance Corporal Benjamin Smith from the 3rd Battalion, also retrieved a cone and sent it back to his mother (Mrs McMullen) in Australia, who had lost another son at the battle. Seeds from the cone were planted by Mrs McMullen in 1928, from which two seedlings were raised. One was presented to her home town of Inverell (New South Wales) and the other was forwarded to Canberra where it was planted by Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester at the Australian War Memorial in October 1934.

Melbourne Legacy and the Yarralumla Nursery in Canberra have grown seedlings sourced from the trees at the Shrine of Remembrance and the Australian War Memorial respectively, which they have presented to schools as well as ex-service and other organisations throughout Australia. 

 Descendant of the original Lone Pine of Gallipoli.

The Battle of Lone Pine  was a battle between Australian and Turkish forces that took place during the Gallipoli campaign from 6–10 August 1915. It was part of a diversion to draw attention from the main assaults of 6 August against the Sari Bair peaks of Chunuk Bair and Hill 971, which became known as the August Offensive.

 Presented by Legacy, the pine is a descendant of the original Lone Pine of Gallipoli.

The Gallipoli “Lone Pine” has become a piece of living history in Australia. Every Australian soldier who served at Gallipoli knew Plateau 400 or “Lone Pine” which was the scene of some of the fiercest hand-to-hand combat by Australians in World War I.

The Plateau was distinguished by a solitary pine which bore silent witness to the heroism and tenacity of Australians who fought there. Lone Pine was a heavily fortified Turkish trench position, identified by a solitary Pinus Halepensis species Brutia commonly known as an “Aleppo Pine”.

Aleppo Pine planted in the Jubilee Year 1965 in memory of departed comrades.

In the Anzac Section of Gallipoli in 1915, there was a solitary stunted pine growing on a

scrubby plateau. The tree was of a species indigenous to the Mediterranean known

botanically as PINUS BRUTIA: but more popularly called Aleppo Pine. But this particular

lone specimen was conspicuous and served to provide a name for the plateau, which thus

became known as Lone Pine.

Allepo (Lone) Pine planted as a memorial to the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought at Gallipoli during World War One.



The original "Lone Pine" was a sole survivor of a group of trees that had been cut down by Turkish soldiers who had used the timber and branches to cover their trenches during the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915. The tree was obliterated during the battle; however, pine cones that had remained attached to the cut branches over the trenches were retrieved by two Australian soldiers and brought home to Australia.

Both Melbourne Legacy and the Yarralumla Nursery in Canberra have raised and grown seedlings over a number of years, sourced from the tree at the Shrine of Remembrance and the Australian War Memorial respectively, which they have presented to schools as well as ex-service and other organisations throughout Australia.

The Melbourne Trades Hall Council resolved to commemorate the action of the people who voted against the introduction of conscription into Australia. The results were of the first referendum on 28 October 1916 was For Conscription 1,087,577 Against 1,160,033, and of the second referendum on 20 December 1917 was For Conscription 1,015,159 Against 1,181,747.

The Melbourne Trades Hall Council decided on November 14th 1918 to place on record their appreciation of all those soldiers who whilst fighting abroad voted against the introduction of conscription into this country.

Memorial garden comprises a 1.2 metre high ceramic statue of a soldier, a plaque inscribed with the words 'Anzac and Armistice Remembrance Garden', and a flagpole which will fly the Australian flag.

ANZAC & Muriel Vickers Memorial Park

The sculpture of "War" or "Bellona" , as it is better known by Sir Bertram Mackennal , was relocated to the Sculpture Garden in August 1999.  The sculpture, portraying Bellona: Roman goddess of war was made in 1906.

When Sir Bertram Mackennal learnt of the bravery, he presented the sculpture to the Commonwealth Government in 1915.  Mackennal’s gift  was officially unveiled on Anzac Day, 1921, on the steps of Parliament House, Spring Street, Melbourne which was then the seat of the Australian Government.  Bellona’s relocation to Canberra was a matter of  disagreement, and in March 1926 the government decided that it should not to be placed anywhere near Parliament House. It was suggested that it be associated with the War Memorial, and that too created protest from those engaged in planning the War Memorial.

Parliament decided to lend the sculpture to the Federal Capital Commission and Bellona arrived in Canberra in late 1926, to wait until the War Memorial was completed.  On arrival it was discovered that the black marble pedestal was missing. It had remained in Melbourne and a locally poor concrete substitute was supplied

Bellona, Canberra’s first statue, was placed on the southern side of the Molonglo River facing the two bridges, which formed one bridge – Commonwealth Bridge. She sat in the centre of the plantation strip, which divided Commonwealth Avenue into two traffic lanes until she was relocated to the Sculpture Gardens.

Commemorative plaque is dedicated to the 2500 men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps known as ANZAC, who lost their lives in the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. The area below the Cenotaph was renamed Anzac Bluff in 1974 as it resembles the site where the soldiers first landed at Gallipoli.

ANZAC Commemorative Garden

 ANZAC Commemorative Garden

Small timber cottage built by the "Ugly Men`s Association" as a practical war memorial to house war widows. It has unusual design elements thought to be associated with the requirements of the first war widow to occupy the house.

ANZAC Cottage, Claremont was built on a lot donated by M. Walters & Co., by the Ugly Men’s Voluntary Workers’ Association to a design by T. W. Powell, Architect, under the supervision of Mr. Brine, a well known builder, for a war widow, Mrs. Metcalf, and her seven children who lived there for one year. The Ugly Men's Voluntary Worker's Association Inc., generally shortened to the Ugly Men's Association or "Ugly Men" was a fund-raising and charitable organisation established in Western Australia in 1917. The Daily News (Perth) 24th July 1917.



From December 1918 to early 1957, the place was the home of Mrs. Christina Connett and her three children. From 1957 to 1973, the place was under the auspices of Legacy, who also used it to accommodate war widows.

ANZAC cottage is Western Australia’s oldest First World War memorial, unique because it is a house. The cottage was opened by the Premier Mr Scadden on the 17th April 1916. The Register (Adelaide), 18th April 1916

Organised by the Mount Hawthorn Progress association, it was erected to commemorate the landing of Australian Forces at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Seventy horse-drawn drays formed a half-mile procession in James Street on 5 February 1916 to cart donated materials to the cleared block. On Saturday 12 February, Mount Hawthorn was awoken at 3.30 am to the sounds of a ringing bell and a town crier: ‘Arise, arise! Anzac Cottage is to be built today’. Community spirit rallied over two hundred men to volunteer and dozens of women to serve hot meals as they toiled. Thousands watched the spectacle of a house being built in one day. Private John Porter was chosen as the recipient of the four-room bungalow. A soldier in the 11th Battalion, wounded on 25 April 1915, Porter was in the first contingent of diggers to return to Perth from the ill-fated campaign.

ANZAC Hill

  ANZAC Honour Roll                 

The ANZAC Memorial was originally built by the Wattle Day League in Wattle Grove, Sir Lewis Cohen Avenue and dedicated to the Australasian soldiers who fought in the Dardanelles, especially the landings of the ANZAC troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25 1915.

The memorial was funded by public subscription and unveiled on "Wattle Day" 7th September 1915. It was the first memorial to World War One soldiers erected in Australia.  Wattle Day had been initiated as an alternative day of national pride and celebration, instead of 26 January. A grove of wattle trees, with many varieties so that one or other would always be flowering, was laid out around the memorial obelisk. Connecting the memorial with Wattle Day is early evidence of how Gallipoli became associated with Australian national identity. Removed to Lundie Gardens in October 1940.

Memorial is a brick and stone cairn with a stone cap.

 ANZAC Memorial

 Anzac Memorial Garden

ANZAC Memorial Gardens commemorates the 75th anniversary of ANZAC.



ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

The Australian and New Zealand forces landed on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 , meeting fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. What had been planned as a bold stroke to knock Turkey out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight months. At the end of 1915 the allied forces were evacuated, after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. Over 8,000 Australian soldiers had been killed.

 

Over time, ANZAC Memorial Avenue has been widened to accommodate increased car usage. During the 1980s and 1990s, sections of the avenue were duplicated to form a dual carriageway. Some trees were removed during this time. In Pine Rivers Shire, the council and the Department of Transport adopted a design to preserve the Avenue during roadworks; however a number of trees were removed. In March 1993, ANZAC Memorial Avenue was officially reopened by Queensland RSL President S.W. Kay and Pine Rivers Shire Chairman R. Akers. Following the removal of a number of trees in 2006 for a transit lane, Queensland Transport and the Redcliffe RSL planted a memorial grove in Henry Pieper Park on the avenue at Kippa-Ring, with trees propagated from the slash pines.

The foundation stone for the ANZAC Memorial Hall was laid on the 23 April 1922 by Lord Forster , The Governor General , who also dedicated the hall in 1924. Another stone laid on the same date by Lieutenant -Colonel John Hare-Phipps, president of the Mosman Branch of the Returned Soldiers and Sailors Imperial League, declared that the honorary architects were Morrow and De Putron. The building was financed by public subscription and a loan from the Commonwealth Bank

The library commemorates those who served in World War One.

ANZAC Memorial Park

ANZAC Memorial Planting commemorates the soldiers from Hamilton who enlisted for World War One and served in the Gallipoli campaign.

Anzac Parade received its name in memory of members of the First Australian Imperial Force (later to become known as ANZACs) who marched down the street from their barracks (now a heritage listed part of University of NSW ) to Sydney Harbour, where they were transported to Europe during World War I.

The plaque on the rock on the corner of Doyle and Barwan streets was erected by the Narrabri Garden Club in 1988, acknowledging the unveiling in 1920 of the Anzac Parade Trees, planted in memory of the soldiers who fought in the 1914-18 War.

ANZAC Park Memorial Gates

The ANZAC Peace park is a significant site for the interpretation of Albany's role as a departure point for soldiers in World War 1.

Features completed at the Anzac Peace Park to 2011 included a Pier of Remembrance, Memorial Wall, interpretive elements, lights, seating and landscaping. The final stage of the project included establishing a Lone Pine Grove, additional pathways and performance areas, and installing lighting throughout the park including up-lighting for the flagpoles. The Anzac Peace Park now features plantings of seedlings generated from the seeds of the Aleppo pines located at Lone Pine in Gallipoli, representing a direct connection between the two cities. The City of Albany held a service to mark the dedication of Lone Pine Grove on 27 May 2012.

In 2014, the Anzac Peace Park in Albany will be the centrepiece of the 100-year commemoration of the 1914 departure of Australian and New Zealand troops for the Gallipoli campaign. In 2015, Australia will observe the centenary of Anzac Day and Albany will be the focus of national attention as the point of departure of the Anzac convoy and as the location of the first recognised dawn service commemorating the 25 April 1915 landing at Gallipoli

The Lone Pine was the name given to a solitary tree on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, which marked the site of the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915 during World War One and it was the sole survivor of a group of trees that had been cut down by Turkish soldiers who had used the timber and branches to cover their trenches.

The tree was obliterated during the battle; however, pine cones that had remained attached to the cut branches over the trenches were retrieved by two Australian soldiers and brought home to Australia. Private Thomas Keith McDowell, a soldier of the 23rd battalion brought a pine cone from the battle site back to Australia, and many years later seeds from the cone were planted by his wife's aunt Emma Gray of Grassmere, near Warrnambool, Victoria and five seedlings emerged, with four surviving. These seedlings were planted in four different locations in Victoria: Wattle Park (May 8, 1933), the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne (June 11, 1933), the Soldiers Memorial Hall at The Sisters near Terang (June 18, 1933) and Warrnambool Botanic Gardens (January 23, 1934).

The Shrine of Remembrance's lone pine was felled in August 2012 and the timber used as part of a remembrance project, after a disease known as Diplodia pinea or blue stains fungus as it commonly called killed it.

Another soldier, Lance Corporal Benjamin Smith from the 3rd Battalion, also retrieved a cone and sent it back to his mother (Mrs McMullen) in Australia, who had lost another son at the battle. Seeds from the cone were planted by Mrs McMullen in 1928, from which two seedlings were raised. One was presented to her home town of Inverell (New South Wales) and the other was forwarded to Canberra where it was planted by Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester at the Australian War Memorial in October 1934.

Melbourne Legacy and the Yarralumla Nursery in Canberra have grown seedlings sourced from the trees at the Shrine of Remembrance and the Australian War Memorial respectively, which they have presented to schools as well as ex-service and other organisations throughout Australia.

The ANZAC Trees, which are poplar trees, border the ‘Lake of Reflections’ in front of the ANZAC Memorial and commemorate the battle areas of France.

In 1922 Ald J.A.T. Webb proposed the development of a memorial avenue with public assistance to lead to the cemetery and lists of names of possible donors  were published in the Armidale Chronicle, 27 May and 17 June 1922.

He offered  to have a memorial avenue formed from the overhead bridge to the cemetery in  July and asked permission to plant trees up to Galloway Street. Council also  agreed to allow a select committee of citizens with the mayor acting as a  representative to select suitable trees.

The Dumaresq Shire engineer, M. Smith offered to mark the alignment for the 140 proposed trees. Twelve months later,  Webb sought permission to extend the trees to Dangar Street and he advised the Armidale Chronicle, 2 May 1923 that 125 trees had been paid for and the respective inscription plates attached

An avenue of 56 trees were planted in 1917 in honour of the district soldiers. The avenue was offically opened by Councillor Laidlaw , President of the Lexton Shire. Trees were also planted for Councillors, Laidlaw, Neal and Quayle in recognition of their assistance.

The Ballarat Courier, 11th June 1917.  

The avenue of honour was dedicated in 1918 when 281 Canadian elms were planted alongside more than two kilometres of road leading into the town. A bugle call allowed simultaneous planting to begin. The fallen were remembered in alphabetical order (allowing family members who died overseas to be recalled to mind, together in groups). The MLA for Ballarat West, Major Matthew Baird, a veteran of the Western Front, officiated.

The Ballarat Avenue of Honour is significant as the earliest known memorial avenue to have been planted in Victoria, and appears to have stimulated similar plantings throughout Victoria in the years 1917 to 1921. They predominate in Victoria with the greatest concentration in the Central Highlands around Ballarat.

These avenues represented a new egalitarian approach in the commemoration of soldiers where service rank was not a consideration and are illustrative of a peculiarly Australian, populist and vernacular response to the experience of  World War One.

They had declined in popularity as a means of commemoration by the time of the Second World War. The Ballarat Avenue is the longest avenue of honour in Australia and, composed of exotic trees planted along a major road, is a dominant landscape feature in the low farming country with a powerful social message

The Barnawartha Avenue of Honour was planted to commemorate those who served in the First World War.

The Benalla Avenue of Honour in memory of fallen soldiers was planted in Barkly Street, Benalla on the 3rd August 1918. The first tree was planted by Councillor Dunlop, the Shire President.  At a meeting of the Shire Council in 1934, a letter from the Benalla branch of the R.S.S.A.I.L.A stated the avenue would be completed on the 22nd September 1934 and asked the council to erect a tablet inscribed "Avenue of Honour". The council decided to leave the erection of the tablet in the hands of the engineer.  

The Ballarat Courier, 5th August 1918, The North Eastern Ensign ( Benalla), 14th September 1934.

The Bentleigh Avenue of Honour was planted on the 13th October 1917 in honour of the Bentleigh Soldiers. 70 trees were planted along the entrance to Bentleigh reserve and around the oval. Further trees were planted in 1920. It is not known how many original trees are still standing.

The original planting of Silky oaks were removed and replaced with claret ash trees and replanted on the 4th July 1963.

A memorial table on a concrete base was erected between 1957-8 to replace the cast-iron name plates at the foot of each tree as they had been badly vandalised. This tablet was designed by Holden of Holden and Grambau, Ballarat Road, Hamilton.

 On Sunday the 27th January 1991 , there was a ceremony at Digby attended by approximately 450 people to celebrate the restoration of the town`s Avenue of Honour. Bronze plaques for the Digby and District service men who fought in the First World War were dedicated and placed by families at the foot of the avenue`s trees. There are 97 trees in the Avenue and 45 families of these soldiers had been traced at the time of the ceremony.

The Drummond Avenue of Honour was planted by local residents to commemorate eleven fallen soldiers in the First World War.

The Eurack Avenue of Honour commemorates the 26 soldiers from the district who enlisted during World War One.   The 100 metre long avenue honours only those men who had enlisted by 1916, with a memorial board in the Eurack Recreational Hall honouring others who enlisted later. Three trees on the avenue were replaced in 2011. 

Each tree is marked with a painted concrete cross, which replaced original wooden crosses, and bears the names of the soldier, or soldiers, it commemorates.

The planting of the Avenue commenced as an Arbour Day project for the Eurack School in May 1916 on the initiative of Lieutenant George Pentreath, then head teacher of the school who enlisted in July 1916. Each tree is marked with a stylised white painted concrete cross bearing the name of the soldier it commemorates inscribed on a black marble plate.  The Eurack Avenue of Honour is the earliest known avenue of honour to be planted in Victoria.

Six of the trees are dedicated to brothers. One of the crosses commemorates Lord Kitchener, the British Secretary of State for War who was killed in 1916 when HMS Hampshire struck a mine en route to Russia.

The trees were planted on the 22nd August 1918 in honour of the soldiers who had gone to war. 23 pine trees were planted with a 9 foot sawn paling fence around them which contained the name of the soldier on each. The avenue was planted along the main road in front of the Greenwald State School. 

This Avenue is planted with Red Gums, the natives chosen by the local community to represent the national pride that evolved from Australian participation in the War. 29 trees were planted, though some originals have since been replaced with oaks. The memorial stone was unveiled on Anzac Day 1959.

The Hotspur Avenue of Honour is planted with native Australian Kurrajong trees which is different form many other avenues of honour which were planted with imported trees.

Besides planting of the trees, enamel plates, bearing the soldiers' names and units, were nailed to the guards. The trees were securely enclosed with timber gurads five feet square.

An avenue of weeping figs (Ficus benjamina) commemorates those who died or were killed during World War One.

70 trees were originally planted of which only 19 remain.

Plantation of 27 trees replaced the Avenue of Honour originally planted along Blackburn Road in 1920 by East Doncaster school children. The trees from the original avenue were removed for road widening. A tree grown from the seed of the Lone Pine of Gallipoli also is marked here.

Trunks of six of the trees that originally formed the avenue of honour have been preserved and turned into sculptures representing scenes from the World War One period.

Sculptures represent a World War One soldier, a wounded soldier with a donkey, a World War One nurse, Simpson helping two wounded soldiers and a family waiting for their father.

The plaques were erected on 9 November 2009 courtesy of grants from the Victorian Veterans Council and the Australian Department of Veterans Affairs. The monument was formally unveiled at a ceremony on 21 February 2010 by the Hon Alan Griffin, MP, Minister for Veterans Affairs

 

On Sunday 2 May 1948 a Commemoration Service was conducted by the Yarra Glen & District Tourist and Progress Association and the RSSILA at which the avenue of oak trees was dedicated as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the two world wars. The trees were donated by Major E Lang. The street was re-named ANZAC Avenue at some time between 1948 and 1968.

The Banjup Memorial Park was established in 1920 and initially comprised an avenue of 14 trees. A memorial plaque that reads 'Banjup Memorial Reserve' was dedicated to those men from Banjup who had enlisted in World War I indicating whether they had died or were wounded. This Memorial has the dubious honour of recording the highest 'Killed in Action' and ' Wounded' ' on a percentage basis, than any other War Memorial in Western Australia.

As a number of trees have required replacement over the years, there is an assortment of tree species at varying ages, including Jarrah ( Eucalyptus marginata), Tuart (Eucalyptus gomphocephela), Grevillea and Red Flowering Gum (Corymbia ficifolia)

In 2012, the proposed widening of Armadale Road to dual carriageway will require the memorial land that protrudes into the Armadale Road Reserve to be shifted, relocating the whole memorial approximately 5.1 metres north from the current position. This will require the removal of the two trees located at the front of the memorial and as such two new trees will need to be planted in the revested land at the rear.

The Cockburn RSL and the City of Cockburn consider that it is within the community’s interest to use the widening of Armadale Road as an opportunity to improve the memorial thereby endorsing its significance in Banjup. As the dedication plaque will be relocated to the rear of the lot, the RSL wish to upgrade it by transferring the original plate to a more substantial form such as a new large granite block engraved with a commemorative inscription derived from consultation with the RSL
