Inscription. This archway was designed by Carlo Catani and completed in August 1916. It has been described as the "Bridge of Honour" and thought to have been dedicated to those who lost their lives in World War One at Pozières, France, including Carlo's son Lieutenant Enrico Catani. Also colloquially referred to as the "Bridge of Sighs", perhaps influenced by its Italian design, it once linked the foreshore promenade to the former Pavilion Tea House and surrounding lawns.
