Victorian Garden of RemembrancePrint Page
The Garden of Remembrance commemorates those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
Each plaque commemorates service personnel who died in the two world wars or whose post war deaths are determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs to have been related to war service.
Since the Victorian Garden of Remembrance was first opened, deaths from subsequent wars are now included within the memorial.
