An imposing building of white Portland stone, the Hall of Memory is a fitting tribute to the fallen in all major conflicts of the 20th century. It is located in a prominent position near the International Convention Centre. The focus of Remembrance Day activities in the city, it has sculptures representing the armed services on each of its sides and inside are books with the names of those who lost their lives, as well as impressive stained glass windows. An inscription inside the hall gives the sobering statistics - of 150,000 local people who went off to war, 12,320 fell and 35,000 were disabled. The visitor is reminded to note that their sacrifice was not in vain.
