Honouring the Sacrifices of WWI
National War Memorial, Adelaide的点评
点评：The National War Memorial is the largest and most prominent of the many sculptures monuments along North Terrace.
Created in Adelaide in 1931, it honours the South Australians who fought and died in WWI.
We paused here, partly to properly acknowledge it but also because its very moving. Rather than walking past, it pays to stop and walk right around the monument because it is two-sided.
What you see here is a large solid looking arch made of hefty granite blocks. In the centre, is a white marble figure with enormous folded wings - This is the Winged Spirit of Duty. The figure at the front, holds a crucifix-like Crusader sword and towers over the small figures below like a giant guardian angel.
The three bronze figures are answering the call to duty. They represent a cross-section of people from the time - a farmer, a student and a young girl.
Now, walk around the back and you will see a similar image but this time the Winged Spirit is a female. In this version, her sword is sheathed and she holds a laurel wreath and supports the body of a naked, dying man on her left arm. Below her is a small pool or fountain. The imagery of cleansing and compassion is heavy here.
A doorway on the side leads to a crypt or shrine where the names of those who died are recorded.
GETTING HERE: If you are strolling down North Terrace, the memorial is in between the Matthew Flinders Memorial and the State Library, on the corner of Kintore Avenue and North Terrace.

翻译：国家战争纪念碑是北台地众多雕塑纪念碑中规模最大、最引人注目的。
它于 1931 年在阿德莱德建成，以纪念在第一次世界大战中战斗和牺牲的南澳大利亚人。
我们在这里停了下来，部分是为了正确地了解它，也因为它非常感人。与其走过去，不如停下来绕着纪念碑走一圈，因为它是双面的。
你在这里看到的是一个由厚重的花岗岩块制成的巨大坚固的拱门。中间是一个白色大理石雕像，有着巨大的折叠翅膀——这是有翼的职责精神。前面的雕像拿着一把十字架般的十字军剑，像一个巨大的守护天使一样高耸于下面的小雕像之上。
三个青铜雕像正在响应职责的召唤。他们代表了当时的各阶层人——一个农民、一个学生和一个年轻女孩。
现在，绕到后面，你会看到一个类似的形象，但这次有翼的灵魂是一个女性。在这个版本中，她的剑被收在剑鞘中，她手捧月桂花环，左臂支撑着一个赤裸的垂死男子的尸体。她下面是一个小水池或喷泉。这里充满了净化和同情的意象。
侧面的门通向墓穴或神殿，那里记录着死者的名字。
到达方式：如果您沿着北露台漫步，纪念碑位于马修·弗林德斯纪念碑和州立图书馆之间，位于金托尔大道和北露台的拐角处。
