Wall of RemembrancePrint Page 
The Wall of Remembrance commemorates those died in service or were killed in action in World War One, World War Two, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
The Wall was unveiled in 1995 as an Australia Remembers Project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War Two and lists the names of those who were killed while based at Gove and buried in the Adelaide River War Cemetery or in unknown graves. There is also a series of plaques relating to those who served in Gove and others areas in Northern Australia during World War Two. The wall was rededicated in 2001 and contains plaques in memory of those who lost their lives in other conflicts.
