 Australian Prisoner of War Memorial in Ballarat.
This is a memorial to those prisoners of war who returned as well as to those who perished in captivity.
The red poppies are sold for Remembrance Day and people have stuck them onto the memorial. My husband's uncle is included in the list of names but his name is too far away from the monumental stones to incorporate into the composition. He was one who returned, but his health was pretty much ruined.

At first it doesn't say military. But then does it need to? After viewing and exploring the image, the message is quite clear. Very nice.

Now this caught my attention. Lovely picture and the Orange Free State on the last pillar is where I live. Where in the world is this beautiful monument? Great photography btw.
