Commemoration: the women who served in Australia's defence forces in World War II
Description
A poster produced by 'Australia Remembers 1945-1995' to commemorate the contribution of the women who served in Australia's Defence Forces in World War II. The central focus of the poster is an inset photograph of Napier Waller's Hall of Memory mosaic of a uniformed woman, representative of the women's services, surrounded by rays of light. Australia Remembers, 1945-1995 was a program of activities organised to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, culminating in key national ceremonies held in Brisbane on 15 August 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of Victory in the Pacific.
