The Shrine of Remembrance is one of the few memorials built specifically for the events of World War I, due to the Australian casualties that eventuated from the war Australia had more reason than most to mourn there dead, built before the events of World War II the Shrine was still updated to include memorial statues from the second world war as well as a gift shop and extensive tour of the top room with a plaque the writing on it shall not spoil for you, as well as a room with all the named battalions and flags of the many Australian forces. Overall a pivotal part of the Australian's inclusion in the first 2 World Wars and a startling message that stays with you long after you've left, one that shows us all what all Australians are truly made of.
