Heirs of Anzac Day 'architect' in Brisbane to share rare gift
David Ratcliff and Liz Binks, who are direct descendants of the 'architect of Anzac Day', David Garland, have visited Brisbane with a precious historic artefact.
The artefact is a rare gold cross, mounted on a larger golden cross, which was given to David Garland in Jerusalem in 1920- with scholars verifying documentary evidence of its existence in the 11th century and after the end of World War One.
David Ratcliff has stated that he will continue talks with the Brisbane City Council, The Museum of Brisbane and Brisbane Canon Garland Memorial over the prospects of soon returning the gold cross to Brisbane.
