    Wow, totally unrecognisable compared to how it looks today.

    When the new shopping centre was built they erased a lot of history. Sure there were run down parts but to remove parts of the square was unforgiveable. And not a single long leatther coat in sight!

    Considering the general uniformity of the public and military, the three ladies off to the left on the grass stand out...
  • Andy Millican Photography said:
    It's a disgrace what they did to those buildings.

Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance memorials at Toowong Cemetery Brisbane 1924

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Brisbane April 25. In the bright sunshine and morning stillness, broken only by the soughing of the neighboring pines, the Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance erected in TooWong cemetery to the memory of those who have made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War were unveiled this morning by the Governor-General (Lord Forster). The spectacle was a most impressive one, and worthy of the noble sacrifices it commemorated. Grouped round the Cross were the relatives of the heroic dead, a naval guard from the British cruiser Dragon, and representatives of the Returned Soldiers' League, while overlooking the site were headstones marking the resting places of some 350 departed heroes. An aeroplane whirred overhead, dropping a shower of floral tokens. Brisbane Citizens' Band played the majestic Beethoven. "Symphony" and the Dead March in "Saul." Daily Mercury (Mackay, Qld), 26 April 1924. "Commemorating our beloved dead" said His Excellency " we turn to the Cross, the sign of Him through whose self-sacrifice they have passed through the vale into life immortal". His Excellency then quoted from a poem written in the early days of the war which was written by a friend in the House of Commons. 'O valiant hearts, who to your glory came Through dust of conflict and the battle flame Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved Your memory hallowed in the land you loved.' The Brisbane Courier, 26th April 1924 Source: monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/conflict/ww1/display/9270...
