When the Memorial was nearing completion in 1934 the Trustees of the time agreed to produce a book as "... an official volume, giving a physical description of the edifice and an explanation of... its spiritual and artistic significance..." Today's Anzac Memorial Trustees are proud to present another "official volume" to mark the completion of the Anzac Memorial Centenary Project and describe and explain the Memorial's enduring significance to the people of NSW.
