Shrine of Remembrance - It was built to honour the men and women of Victoria who served in World War I, but is now a memorial to all Australians who have served in war. Designed by architects Phillip Hudson and James Wardrop who were both World War I veterans. For Australia, the First World War remains the costliest conflict in terms of deaths and casualties. From a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of whom more than 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner.
