EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Ross Bastiaan Australian Plaque, located in Passendale Square, commemorating the sacrifices of Australian soldiers during the First World War. The plaque, dedicated to the memory of the 5th and 6th Australian Infantry Divisions, stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Australian forces in the face of adversity. Passendale Square, also known as Ieper (Ypres) Market Square, is a historic site in the Belgian town of Ieper (Ypres), which was the scene of some of the most intense and brutal fighting during the First World War. The square, surrounded by beautiful Flemish architecture, bears the scars of the conflict, with the plaque serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Australian troops during the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. The Ross Bastiaan Australian Plaque was unveiled on 12 July 2016, during a moving ceremony attended by Australian military personnel, local dignitaries, and members of the Australian community in Belgium. The event marked the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele and was an opportunity to honor the memory of the over 10,000 Australian soldiers who lost their lives during the campaign. The plaque, designed by Australian artist Ross Bastiaan, features a stylized representation of a soldier's helmet, symbolizing the Australian troops who fought in the area. The inscription reads, "In memory of the 5th and 6th Australian Infantry Divisions who fought in the Battle of Passchendaele 1917." The plaque's location in the heart of Passendale Square ensures that the sacrifices of these brave men will never be forgotten, and their memory will continue to inspire future generations.
