Ben Roberts-Smith’s uniform, medals, and combat helmet continue to be showcased in the Hall of Valour, a prestigious area dedicated to Victoria Cross honorees.
“Whatever the truth is, whenever the truth is known, we will tell it,” remarked Matt Anderson, Director of the Australian War Memorial.

New galleries were opened today, displaying full-sized vehicles on the floor.
