EDITORS COMMENTS
The Australian Diggers Memorial at Plugstreet Experience: A Tribute to the Courage and Sacrifice of Australian Miners in World War I The Plugstreet Experience Museum, located in Ieper, Belgium, opened its doors to the public on November 9, 2013. This significant day marked the unveiling of a splendid bas relief, a generous donation from Ross J. Thomas and the artistic creation of Michael Meszaros. The memorial, titled "The Australian Diggers," depicts three Australian miners in the midst of their arduous work underground during World War I. One miner lies on his back, using his feet to dig into the soil, while the other two miners are shown in the process of removing the proceeds from the ground. This powerful and evocative image pays tribute to the countless Australian miners who played a crucial role in the First World War, particularly during the Battle of Ypres in 1917. The unveiling ceremony of this magnificent memorial took place on November 9, 2013, and marked the completion of the Plugstreet Experience Museum. The museum, dedicated to the 14-18 experience, offers visitors an immersive and moving journey through the history of World War I. The Australian Diggers Memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery, determination, and resilience of the Australian soldiers who fought in the war, and the sacrifices they made for their country. The bas relief, sculpted by Michael Meszaros, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Australian miners who played a vital role in the war effort. Their story, along with the stories of countless other soldiers, is now preserved for future generations to remember and honor.
