Creating RemembranceThe Art and Design of Australian War Memorials

by Donald Richardson OAM

There are thousands of war memorials in Australia, but hardly anyone knows who designed and made them. This is due to the fact that there was a general understanding that only the names of those who had served or died should appear on these monuments.

So, those whose creative work has been almost entirely responsible for supplying and maintaining the community’s memory of the sacrifice and tragedy of war have never received their due recognition.

This book is an attempt to redress this deficiency.

Endorsed by Professor Ken Inglis (author of Sacred Places), sculptor Peter Corlett, the National Secretary of the RSL and architect Peter Tonkin.

Published in the USA (University of Illinois). Copies most easily available in Australia from the author. Write to him at 21 Druids Avenue, Mount Barker, SA 5251. Email [email protected] 08 8398 2185
