On the 11th of November 1934 over 300,000 people gathered on the
slopes of Melbourne's Domain to witness the dedication of the
Shrine. It was the largest state war memorial Australia would build
and it commemorated the sacrifice of no fewer than 114,000
Victorians who served in the Great War. A Place to Remember charts
the Shrine's history from the first fatalities of the Gallipoli
landing to the present day. With deft hand and luminous style,
Bruce Scates masterfully situates the Shrine in its larger
physical, cultural and historical landscape. Archival image and
first person vignette mesh with vivid prose to reveal The Shrine
then and now; its changing patterns of meaning through the many
conflicts in which Australians have fought and died, and the
enduring significance of this grand memorial in the heart of
Melbourne, for generations to come.
