Lest We Regret..

Originally intended as a memorial arch that would span across St Kilda Rd, it was also proposed at one point that the Shrine of Remembrance instead be a cenotaph in a large "ANZAC Square"at the top of Bourke Street.

As this would have also included demolishing one of Melbourne's oldest buildings, the Windsor Hotel, the 1927 ANZAC Day march was also held as a demonstration, led by General Sir John Monash, former commander of the Australian forces.
