Our Continuing Story More than a century on, our Memorial is the centre of national commemoration for Australia's involvement in conflict, telling the stories of Australia's servicemen and servicewomen and their experiences in war - and more recently in peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. However, the stories of the 100,000 Australian veterans who have served in the past three decades remain mostly untold. Through the modernisation and expansion of our galleries and buildings we will tell the continuing story of Australia's contemporary contribution to a better world. In doing so, we will connect the spirit of our past, present and future for generations to come.
