Mounted Memorial, Canberra, War memorial in Campbell, Australia

The Mounted Memorial presents bronze statues of Australian and New Zealand cavalry riders in World War I uniforms at the end of Anzac Parade.

The memorial replicates a 1932 monument from Port Said that was removed during the 1956 Suez Crisis, leading to this installation in Canberra.

The memorial depicts two mounted soldiers, with one supporting a falling comrade, representing the military bond between Australian and New Zealand forces.

Visitors can access the memorial daily through Fairbairn Avenue, with dedicated ceremonies occurring during Anzac Day and the Battle of Beersheba commemoration.

Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal completed this design as his final sculptural work before his death in 1918, capturing military precision in bronze.
