The Shrine of Remembrance is the main war memorial in Victoria, Australia, and is by far my favourite of all these memorials. The Australian War Memorial in Canberra is the only memorial to exceed it in size and majesty, and Sydney's at least comes close, but I have had far more to do with the Shrine.

As such I am angered and horrified by this act. The Eternal Flame, being a creation of man, does occasionally go out, and sometimes even needs to be turned off for maintenance, but deliberately extinguishing it like this disgusts me.

On the walls of the Shrine are carved the words:

LET ALL MEN KNOW THAT THIS IS HOLY GROUND. THIS SHRINE, ESTABLISHED IN THE HEARTS OF MEN AS ON THE SOLID EARTH, COMMEMORATES A PEOPLE'S FORTITUDE AND SACRIFICE. YE THEREFORE THAT COME AFTER, GIVE REMEMBRANCE.

It is Holy Ground, and this piece of scum - I hope he learns that.

Let the Aussie vets have at him, no charges, whatever happens to the POS. If Aussie RVN vets are as pissed off as we US vets are, it could get bloody fast.

Catch him and make him join the Australian Marines, some of the baldest of the baldest ... let him learn first hand what it means to serve.

I’ll hazard a guess...An anti-war protester who thinks desecrating a memorial makes a statement for peace.

That seems a very thoughtless and rude thing to do.
