In some sense the Melbourne sculpture was broken even when it was dedicated in
1934, as the World War I armistice took place on 1918-11-11 at 11:00 UT, so its
Gregorian-calendar anniversary occurred at 21:00 Melbourne time in 1934 and
will occur at 22:00 Melbourne time this year - i.e., about two hours after
Melbourne sunset.
It'd take quite a bit of mirror trickery to fix *that*!

Should we now debate the choice among
o Calendar Year
o Mean Tropical Year
o Sidereal year (used by a minority of astrologers)
