Visit of the Prince of WalesPrint Page 
The flagpole commemorates the visit of the Prince of Wales in June 1920.
A concert and dance was held on Wednesday night, when the presentation of a machine-gun from the War Trophies Department and a flagpole from the Railway Commissioners', in honor of the visit of the Prince of Wales, took place. Mr Gibson, M.P.. who made the presentation, said the gun was one that the 6th Battalion helped to take on the 10th August, 1918. An honor board, with 88 names on it, was also unveiled. The speaker also stated that there were 300 soldiers settled on the land. A concert resulted in about £15 being taken, the profits of which go towards the soldiers' memorial hall.
Ballarat Star (Vic), 15 February 1921.
