Australian Prisoner of War Memorial in Ballarat.
This is a memorial to those prisoners of war who returned as well as to those who perished in captivity.
The red poppies are sold for Remembrance Day and people have stuck them onto the memorial. My husband's uncle is included in the list of names but his name is too far away from the monumental stones to incorporate into the composition. He was one who returned, but his health was pretty much ruined.
