Australian War Memorial - London...




This beautiful (nearly new - 11th november 2003) memorial is found at Hyde Park Corner in London. It is made from Western Australia green granite and has the name of 47 battles and 24000 towns engraved into the surface. These towns represent the birth place of all Australian service men. There are place names from across Australia and Great Britain.

Finding Benalla was difficult, but with perseverence we found it. It is spelt incorrectly (Benella).

Looking on the web we found a great web site that tells you which panel to find a town. Even little localities are included. www.awmlondon.gov.au
