As with World War I, and other previous conflicts, Australians built war memorials to remember the sacrifices of those who served. Victoria's main World War II memorial is the ceremonial courtyard in front of the Shrine of Remembrance. The memorial includes a "12.5–metre Cenotaph [where] six service men in the battle dress of the Navy, Army and Air Force, carrying a bier (a stand used for placing people before burial) on which lies a fallen comrade. The names of the theatres of war where each of the services served in the Second World War (1939–45) are inscribed on the pillar. The Eternal Flame was lit by... Queen Elizabeth II during the 1954" (Monument Australia, n.d.)
"The Australian-American Memorial is an important symbol of Australian gratitude to United States of America service personnel for their contribution to the defence of Australia during World War Two. It is also a symbol of the close ties which were established during the War" (Monuments Australia, n.d.)
