1 WOMEN’S WAR MEMORIAL Background Information Time to allow: 15 to 20 minutes. The Women’s War Memorial was the idea of Miss Ethel Wyatt who was a member of the Women’s War Memorial Committee. The committee began accepting donations from the women of South Australia in 1919. The memorial is dedicated to all those who paid the supreme sacrifice in time of war. It includes the Cross of Sacrifice (unveiled April 25 1922) and the Stone of Remembrance (unveiled April 25 1923) positioned at opposite ends of the Memory Garden. Behind the stone is the crescent shaped Seat of Remembrance. Placed in the base of the Cross of Sacrifice is an urn containing names of British, French and Allied troops who served during the Great war. Women also placed small violet bags into the base of the cross, which contained names of loved ones who died in the war. There are also coins and documents of the period embedded in the base of the Stone of Remembrance. Student questions (1) The Women’s War Memorial includes what three key elements?
