Australian War Memorial, War memorial at Hyde Park Corner, United Kingdom
The memorial features a curved wall of grey-green granite from Western Australia with water flowing down the surface during summer months.
The structure, unveiled in 2003, commemorates 102,000 Australian military personnel who lost their lives during the First and Second World Wars.
The granite slabs display 23,844 Australian town names where soldiers were born, creating a geographical connection between both nations.
The memorial stands on a traffic island at Hyde Park Corner, maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for public viewing.
Water runs across the inscribed names on the granite surface, representing the flow of memories related to military service and sacrifice.
