Book Details
First Sentence
"The Shrine of Remembrance was a new and mysterious presence in the Melbourne of my childhood. Rising from a mound in the Domain, just south of the city, the building proclaimed itself the most important object in the landscape. The king's son, the Duke of Gloucester, dedicated the Shrine on 11 November, Armistice Day, 1934, when I was five, at a ceremony timed to coincide with the city's centenary celebrations."
