Unknown Australian WarriorPrint Page 
The Rosemary Bush was planted as a tribute to the Unknown Australian Warrior of all wars. The bush was planted on the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War One - the day the Unknown Australian Soldier was interred in the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial.
Plans to honour an unknown Australian soldier were first put forward in the 1920s, but it was not until 1993 that one was at last brought home. To mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the First World War, the body of an unknown Australian soldier was recovered from Adelaide Cemetery near Villers-Bretonneaux in France and transported to Australia. After lying in state in King’s Hall in Old Parliament House, the Unknown Australian Soldier was interred in the Hall of Memory on 11 November 1993.
