Notes: The Cenotaph is one of Sydney's two major war memorials. The monument is an empty tomb in honour of the War dead and bears the famous inscription "Lest we forget".

Australia was emerging from the Depression and celebrating 150 years of European settlement. As people paused to remember World War I (1914-1918), the Second World War was less than a year away.
