About Shrine of Remembrance

The Shrine of Remembrance was made to address the issues of a lamenting group after the broad loss of lives in the First World War 1914 – 18. 114,000 Victorians enrolled in the First World War. Of them 89,000 who served abroad 19,000 were slaughtered.

They were covered in far off graves a long way from home when most Australians did not travel abroad. The Shrine gave a place where Victorians could lament as people, as families or as a group. It likewise served to respect the bravery of the men, ladies and youngsters who stayed at home.

The plan for the Shrine of Remembrance was chosen by rivalry among Australian specialists and modelers. Eighty-three outlines were submitted and the triumphant plan was by two Melbourne returned-fighter modelers, Philip Hudson and James Wardrop.

The motivation for the outside diagram originated from one of the seven miracles of the antiquated world—the catacomb at Halicarnassus to Mausolus, King of Caria in South West Asia Minor.

In spite of the fact that the nation was looked with repulsive joblessness and monetary trouble in the late 1920s and the 1930s, so extraordinary was the appreciation of the general population that the immense sum required to construct the Shrine was raised or guaranteed inside a half year from the opening of the interest in 1928.
