Introduction
It was a dark and gloomy morning on the 24 May, 2002, but even the threat of rain did not deter historians from Sydney Distance Education High School exploring memorials to War and Peace in the heart of Sydney. The day was significant for many reasons. It was:
- Empire Day
- Queen Victoria's birthday
- the day of Alex Campbell's funeral (he was the last surviving ANZAC of Gallipoli)
- the day when over 2,000 primary Catholic school students attended a Mass at St Mary's Cathedral
