Anzac memorial in the Rockhampton Botanic Gardens, March 1938

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Rockhampton War Memorial was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One. It commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in World War One, World War Two, the Korean, Malaysian, and Borneo campaigns, and the Vietnam War. A plaque has been placed at the cenotaph in remembrance of all who served. Seeds from the Lone Pine at Gallipoli were obtained from the Turkish Government in Australia's Bicentennial Year, and pines from some of these seeds now form part of an avenue to and around the Cenotaph. It was unveiled on the 16th November 1924 by the Governor of Queensland Sir Matthew Nathan and was designed by architects Hockings and Palmer and produced by monumental masons, F M Allen.

Unidentified couple visiting the Murat tombs in Tallahassee, Florida

from Florida Memory

• Florida Memory said:

  Prince Murat was the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. He moved to the United States in the 1820s and eventually settled in Tallahassee, where he became a planter and married Catherine Willis Gray in 1826. Murat died in 1847 and is buried in the Old City Cemetery. Catherine died in 1867 and was interred next to her husband.

• Swordscookie said:

  Florida Memory Murat was the son of Napoleon Bonaparte's favourite Marshal, Joachim, who was the real "Flash Harry" of the Emperors army! He was considered the most dashing of the group of Marshals and an outstanding cavalry man. He was one of those who deserted Napoleon after Waterloo and was eventually executed when he sought to stir up a revolt in his former kingdom of Naples in an attempt to regain the throne! As he stood before the firing squad he called on the firing party "Soldats! Faites votre devoir! Droit au cœur mais épargnez le visage. Feu!" "Soldiers! Do your duty! Straight to the heart but spare the face. Fire!"
