This design captures a powerful moment of reflection through the message “Remembering Our Heroes,” set against a vivid sunset that symbolises both sacrifice and remembrance. The warm, burnt-orange tones echo the harsh landscapes of Gallipoli, where Australian and New Zealand forces landed in 1915, creating a striking yet respectful backdrop grounded in shared ANZAC history.

Across the front, the artwork draws directly from the Gallipoli campaign, with layered terrain reflecting the peninsula’s steep ridgelines, narrow beaches, and exposed positions faced by troops. The scene is viewed through the lens of both Australian and New Zealand experience, representing the endurance, mateship, and resilience that defined the campaign. Rather than depicting conflict, the composition focuses on presence and environment, allowing the weight of the story to come through in a calm and considered way.

On the back, a soldier stands alongside a nurse, both silhouetted against the fading light. The soldier, shown in a historically accurate Australian Army uniform, represents those who served on the front line under extreme conditions. Beside him, the nurse reflects the vital role of medical staff during the campaign and beyond—working tirelessly in field hospitals and evacuation stations, often under pressure and with limited resources, to care for the wounded. Together, they acknowledge that the ANZAC story extends beyond combat, recognising both those who fought and those who saved lives.

At the centre of the design sits the red poppy, paired with the words “Remembering Our Heroes.” The poppy, long recognised across Australia, New Zealand, and Commonwealth nations, traces its origins to the battlefields of the Western Front during World War I, where it grew among the fallen. It has since become a lasting symbol of sacrifice, remembrance, and renewal, and here acts as a strong visual anchor within the composition.

On the sleeve, the 3rd pattern Rising Sun badge (officially licensed by Tribute Collective) adds a direct link to Australian military heritage. Worn by members of the Australian Imperial Force during World War I, it is one of the most recognised emblems of the Australian Army, representing service, unity, and the shared identity of those who have worn it. Its inclusion reinforces the connection to the ANZAC legacy and the values it represents.

Altogether, the design brings together landscape, symbolism, and human experience in a respectful and considered way—honouring the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of those who served.
