Berridale War Memorial (New) Print Page
The monument commemorates those from the Snowy River Region who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
About 100 people attended a special ceremony in Berridale last Friday. Over the past three years or more, the Snowy River Sub-Branch of the RSL has been working to redress certain anomalies and omissions on the Berridale Cenotaph. The task is now complete and last Friday, the new Memorial was unveiled in Park Street, Berridale.
With the assistance of a grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and contributions in kind by the former Snowy River Shire Council, and local volunteers, a large rock has been positioned in Park Street and Honour Rolls containing the names of more than 280 Berridale / Dalgety citizens who, over a period of more than 115 years, served in the Boer War, World War One, World War Two and Vietnam have been mounted, including 26 who paid the Supreme Sacrifice.
