The police greys are in attendance (bottom left corner) and part of Government House can be glimpsed amongst the trees in the background. The Memorial was designed by Walter Bagot and Louis Laybourne-Smith (of the firm Woods Bagot) and built by Tillett and Son. The detail of the marble angel and group of bronze figures was the work of Sydney sculptor George Rayner Hoff.
