The ANZAC War Memorial, completed in 1934, is the main commemorative military monument of Sydney, Australia. It was designed by C. Bruce Dellit, with the exterior adorned with monumental figural reliefs and sculptures by Rayner. Hoff. the first anniversary of the landing of the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) at Anzac Cove, a fund was opened to raise money to erect a permanent Memorial in Sydney. By the end of the war the fund had reached £60,000. There was, however, disagreement about the form and the location of the proposed Memorial. During 1923, the ANZAC Memorial (Building) Act was passed and a decision was made to erect the Memorial in Hyde Park. There was no further action until after the Cenotaph had been erected in Martin Place, 1927.
