Australia's official world war historian, Charles Bean, first conceived the idea of a memorial to Australian soldiers when he was in France observing the 1916 war. The Australian War Records Section was established in May 1917 to ensure that records of the war were preserved. The records and artefacts were first exhibited in Melbourne and then in Canberra, and the 1927 architectural design competition did not produce a winning entry. However, two entrants, Sydney architects Emil Sodersten and John Crust, were encouraged to design jointly. The scope of the project was limited to a limited budget and the effects of the Great Depression.
