Editor's Notes
- Tomb of the Unknown SoldierPlans for a tomb for an Australian unknown soldier were first put forward in the 1920s but it was not until 1993 that someone was at last brought home. The soldier in the tomb represents all of the soldiers who fought for Australia in both wars.The Hall of MemoryThe Hall of Memory is one of the most amazing rooms in the Was Memorial. There are four pillars in the Hall, which are locate behind the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, they represent the four ancient elements: Earth, air, fire and water. The walls are covered with one of the world's largest mosaics, including over six million enamelled glass tiles.
