Flag Burning War Memorial

War Memorial 1938-1945
I've seen this memorial a number of times and never taken a picture of it and finally I just had to get off the tram and do it. A number of things fascinate me about it, not least of which the fact that I can't seem to find any information about who created or commissioned it and when. 

Particularly of interest to me is why they chose to memorialize World War II through a charred version of the national flag. I'll let you know when I find more information one day. Maybe I'll just have to take one of those tours one day.
