dc.descriptionRaking view showing curve of monument; A war memorial to the 102,000 Australian dead of the First and Second World Wars at Hyde Park Corner in London, at the southernmost corner of the traffic island around the Wellington Arch. The memorial was unveiled on 11 November (Armistice Day) 2003 by Queen Elizabeth II. The memorial is a semicircular curved wall of grey-green Western Australian granite (Verde Laguna granite from Jerramungup), with the names of 47 battles in which Australia was involved and the names of 23,844 towns in which the soldiers were born carved into it, with water running down over the names. The memorial was designed by Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects and the artist Janet Laurence. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/15/2012)en_US
