It hears the following inseriptioh: "After the capture of the Lpne Pine Ridge in Gallipoli (6th August, 1915) an Australian soldier, who had- taken part in the attack in which his brother was killed, found a cone on one pf the hranches used hy the Turks as overhead eover for their trenches and sent it to his mother. From seed shed by it she raised this troe which she presented to be planted in the War Memorial grounds in honour of her own and others' sons who fell at Lone Pine." When the Duke of Gloucester visited Australia in 1934, he planted this young trce in tho grounds of the Australian War Memorial Museum, where it is rapidly shootiug upwarda to |ona § striking meinorial.
