| Additional information |
Australia's Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier was interred at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on Remembrance Day 1993, the remains exhumed from a Adelaide River War Cemetery in the Northern Territory. The soldier was identified only as one of the 295 Australians buried there — all killed during Japanese air raids on Darwin between 1942 and 1943. This 2015 commemorative was issued in connection with the centenary of the Gallipoli campaign, linking the Unknown Soldier's symbolism to the First World War dead despite the interred individual almost certainly dying in the Second.
