War Memorial galleries attempt to capture the true cost of conflict, under the shadow of Ben Roberts-Smith war crimes arrest
Published
The Australian War Memorial is preparing to open its expanded galleries to the public, saying the new displays move beyond the glorified Anzac to confront the full impact of modern conflicts. They explore the toll of war on communities, veterans, and Australian society including this century’s anti-war protest movements. There is also fresh scrutiny over older displays, with this week’s arrest of Ben Roberts-Smith.
