Australian War Memorial in Hyde Park Corner.

[Adrian]

This is the Memorial to the Australian War Dead of the First and Second World Wars located opposite the Bomber Command Memorial in Hyde Park Corner, London.

It is a curved structure made from granite from Western Australia with the names of all 102,000 dead. The names of the 47 battles in which Australian servicemen took part are incorporated as are the names of the 23,844 towns in which the soldiers were born.
