Returned Soldiers' Memorial Institute, Bendigo, Victoria Australia

            The Returned Soldiers’ Memorial Hall is a permanent memorial to all those from Bendigo who served in World War One and particularly to those who died in service.

The design of the memorial hall characterised by stripped and distorted classicism popular with public buildings of the early twentieth century, was by local architect G D Garvin of the architectural partnership, W Beebe and G D Garvin. The hall was planned to provide accommodation for a club for returned soldiers, a band rotunda and a publicly accessible honour roll.

On Anzac Day 1926 the Honour Roll, with 2300 names on bronze tablets fitted on the wall of the loggia of the Memorial was unveiled. 

The roof-top band rotunda makes the building extra special.

The hall is built over the capped Hustlers Royal Reserve mine – water and gasses still escape into the Bendigo Creek today as a constant reminder of the site’s mining past.

The monument at the front of the Institute was erected by the citizens of Bendigo and District as a tribute to the men and women who served their country in all campaigns since the Great War of 1914–1918.

The monument also carries tributes To World War Two 1939–1945, Vietnam 1962–1973, Kuwait 1991
