This book has the pleasures of both familiarity and unfamiliarity. Visually, too, it's a treat with rich and well captioned illustrations woven into the eloquent text. An admirable achievement.'

It was the largest state war memorial Australia would build and it commemorated the sacrifice of no fewer than 114,000 Victorians who served in the Great War. A Place to Remember charts the Shrine's history from the first fatalities of the Gallipoli landing to the present day. With deft hand and luminous style, Bruce Scates masterfully situates the Shrine in its larger physical, cultural and historical landscape. Archival image and first person vignette mesh with vivid prose to reveal The Shrine then and now; its changing patterns of meaning through the many conflicts in which Australians have fought and died, and the enduring significance of this grand memorial in the heart of Melbourne, for generations to come. This special, limited edition is leather bound and comes in a slip-case.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Foreword\u003cbr\u003e Note on money, measurement and terminology\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
