Remembrance Day 2025: Beyond the Battlefield

Remembrance Day 2025: Beyond the Battlefield

Our soldiers make incredible sacrifices on the frontlines, experiencing unimaginable hardships and facing the horrors of war that draw on unfathomable courage to endure. Beyond the battlefields, there is a network of men, women, and animals contributing in powerful ways to support their success; these quiet heroes ensure the continued hum of activity both on the home front and on foreign soil. This exhibition shines a light on the vital contributions of these support groups. 

These sometimes-forgotten components of the war effort reveal that the battle is not fought with weapons alone, but with the help of healing hands, a serving of hot tea, or the comfort of a song sung by visiting entertainers. Those who bridged the gap between the home front and the battlefield stand as a testament to the enduring human capacity for solidarity, resilience and compassion in the darkest of times.
