On Anzac & Fifth

Article Abstract:

In 1941, Nola Luxford, a New Zealand socialite based in New York City, completed a project to build the Anzac garden on top of a building overlooking Fifth Avenue, and the garden is still used for an annual Anzac Day ceremony. For four years during World War II, Luxford ran the Anzac Club, which provided free entertainment for Australian and New Zealand servicemen on leave in New York.
