Qld War Widows “Ashes of the crosses of Field of Remembrance Cross Plantings ceremony 1995 King George Square”

Brisbane Botanic Garden

 

The details as to how many crosses and who they were for is not shown; giving it an Unknown Soldier feel.

It is right at front entrance but not at eye height, unless you are a child, by design but just not executed perfectly. But as this is a reimaged execution and it was either a vast improvement over what had been done, or an excellent attempt that just missed out.

Taken in conjunction with many of war widow plaques surrounding it, the burial plot and the message is as powerful as any war memorial, as a designed stand alone monument.
