Remembrance Day tour

Suitable for all ages
Free
As part of Remembrance Day 2024 Anzac Square Memorial Galleries will be offering special tours in November exploring our military history and traditions, and sharing stories of Queensland war heroes that exemplify the Anzac Spirit and underpin this important day.
We've searched through State Library's extensive military collection to bring you some of our favourite stories of courage, resilience, and sacrifice from the home front and the warfront, as we guide you on an interactive journey from the First World War to today.
Some of the moving stories you'll hear on this special tour include:
- Edgar Towner VC, who was awarded the Victoria Cross in WW1 for 'most conspicuous bravery, initiative and devotion to duty' and his sister Greta Norman Towner
- Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Kath Walker), who served in the Australian Women's Army Service during WWII
- Douglas Salveron, whose Vietnam War service inspired the popular Long Tan Cross plaque at Anzac Square Memorial Galleries.
