War Memorial

Photograph at the War Memorial Memorial

The Anzac Memorial stands as a significant monument within Sydney's Hyde Park, serving as a place of remembrance and learning. Designed in the Art Deco style by C. Bruce Dellit, its striking exterior features figural reliefs and sculptures created by Rayner Hoff. Construction of this state-owned building was undertaken by Kell & Rigby between 1932 and 1934.

This memorial holds particular importance as the focal point for commemorative ceremonies, including those on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. It was conceived to honour the Australian Imperial Force of the First World War, with fundraising commencing on the first anniversary of the Anzac landing at Anzac Cove. The memorial was formally opened in late 1934, with subsequent refurbishments and expansions completed in 2018.
