A place for people to quietly reflect. Thanks for the additional links I have managed to add them in the comment below. I am not sure why it wasn't working. Maybe there is a word limit per comment box? I am glad you are enjoying the tribute :-)

On Remembrance Day 2013 the final dedication ceremony for the restored Soldiers Memorial Avenue was conducted. Over the past few years the Friends of Soldiers Memorial Avenue have established 535 trees and/or plaques in memory of the initial 520 servicemen who were initially recognised on the Avenue and an additional 15 servicemen and women who can now be recognised.

Just to let you know, here in Hobart, a small town by English standards although the 'Capital' of the State of Tasmania, we too have a number of memorials to our troops. Not quite so grand or well done, but fine nonetheless. We have a centrally located Memorial and a number of other quite different ones, including a 'tree' one, the Soldier's Walk. This was planted way back when but frankly neglected. It fell into really complete disrepair and disrespect. But over the past decade or so a concerted effort has been made to resoration. I have tried to 'copy and paste' a text for you and some links but this site doesn't seem to let me. So you will have to 'google' Soldier's Walk, Hobart for some details (also go to 'images') I am really enjoying this wonderful ‘Tribute’, Cherie.
