The Book of the ANZAC Memorial N.S.W. (1934)
 
The Anzac Memorial was intended to be a memorial to all Australians who lost their lives in service during the First World War, not just the soldiers from the Gallipoli campaign to whom the term “Anzac” was first attached. The imagery and symbolism in the statues and artwork, and the inscriptions in the building itself, reflect all of the campaigns involving Australians and all of the armed forces and auxiliary services that took part.
 
The Book of the Anzac Memorial, published by the Trustees in 1934, makes this intention clear; it reiterates that in addition to being a “memorial" it was intended to provide a place for all returned soldiers, sailors and nurses to use.
 
Official volume published to accompany the unveiling of the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney. It was designed to give 'a physical description of the edifice and an explanation of what may very well be termed its spiritual and artistic significance'
