See the remarkable sculptures that commemorate the lives of the 41 soldiers who lost their lives while serving in Afghanistan.
“The power of the sculpted flags is developed through the way their pale marble, slightly pink in hue and each imbued with blushes and veins, evokes the flesh of a human body. Each flag represents an individual and a life lost in the line of duty.” Dr Brendan Nelson.
