Western Australia War Memorial
This photo was taken in 2010 at King's Park in Perth, Australia. This memorial was erected to honor the men of Western Australia who fought and died in World War I. The Australian flag is on the left and the Western Australian state flag is on the right. Australia entered World War I in 1914, 3 years before the Americans declared war on Germany. 421,809 Australians served in World War I and 58,961 were killed in action. At the time, Australia's total population was a little more than 4 million people.
