The Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
It is Australia's national memorial to the members of all its armed forces and supporting organisations who have died or taken part in the wars of the Commonwealth of Australia.
The two-storey building is an imposing structure of Byzantine architectural style.
The Memorial was opened in 1941, and is widely regarded as one of the most significant memorials of its type in the world. Photo taken 6 January 1950.
