Macarthur Gardens Retirement Village War MemorialPrint Page

The War Memorial commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.

The sandstone war memorial which was supported by local business stands approximately 1.2 metres and is 400mm thick. It sits on a concrete block 3 meters by 1 metre deep. On the right hand side you’ll find a plinth 900 by 600 mm for standing upon when commemorative services on Anzac Day and Remembrance Days are held on site.

Attached to the front of the sandstone memorial you will find a bronze plaque 300 by 200 mm with the words “We Will Remember Them”. The plaque also has the Royal Australian Navy, The Australian Army (Rising Sun Badge) and Royal Australian Air Force Badge, all cast in bronze.

Behind the memorial there stands a 6 metre flag pole in the garden with “Spirit of ANZAC Grevilleas”, “Veteran’s Honour” Rose, “Macarthur” Rose and Rosemary and Lavender plants and it is surrounded by a flat grassy area.
