    Wow! Those are really beautiful sculptures. Would it be correct to call them members of a Commando?

    It's in Canberra on Anzac Avenue dedicated on 31 May 2017.

    Beautiful sculptures/castings.

    Beautiful!

    That may be the nicest-looking, best-done memorial of its type that I have ever seen.

    I have no doubt that Harry Morant would approve.

    Nice to see those who served being respected. Boer War Memorial marking Australias first foreign conflict unveiled in Canberra - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Here they are trying to erase history by removing statues.
