Watch List notes:

Architecture, Australia, New South Wales Board of Architecture, bronze medal, 1927, by George Rayner Hoff, 1927, TO YOU FROM FAILING HANDS WE THROW THE TORCH BE YOURS TO HOLD IT HIGH, 'wisdom' and torch passed from classical figure to youth, rev. head of Athena on crowned cross, motif of the Board, an unnamed specimen, 64mm., extremely fine, scarce
The obverse legend is from the third verse of the World War I poem, "In Flanders Fields", by the Canadian officer, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. The lines would have been familiar to George Rayner Hoff (1894–1937), a British-born sculptor who mainly worked in Australia and who sculpted many War Memorials.
The Architects Medallion has been awarded annually since 1924 to a graduate of the Masters of Architecture course.
