Milton Park ANZAC MemorialPrint Page 
The Memorial commemorates those from the district who made the ultimate sacrifice during the past 100 years.
The memorial is a replica of the handmade and individually numbered Anzac Centenary commemorative awards which were presented to students of schools across Campbelltown City in 2015. The monument was built using pine timber from a Lone Pine seedling and timber from Bardia Barracks in the Ingleburn Army Camp.
The Centenary of Anzac 2014 to 2018 was an important period of national commemoration for Australia. Marking 100 years since our involvement in World War I, the Anzac Centenary was a time to honour the service and sacrifice of our original ANZACs, and the generations of Australian servicemen and women who have defended our values and freedoms, in wars, conflicts and peace operations throughout a Century of Service.
The latest tribute to local Anzacs was officially unveiled in Ingleburn last week. The memorial – an oversized replica of the handmade commemorative awards presented to schools two years ago – now rests in Milton Park, just a stone’s throw away from where the old Ingleburn army camp was located. Timber from Lone Pine seedlings and Bardia Barracks were used in the monument’s construction.
Mayor George Brticevic said he was pleased to unveil the latest tribute to Australia’s fallen soldiers. “Campbelltown’s service men and women were ordinary young people whose courage, sense of mateship and sacrifice, embodied the Anzac spirit that we as a nation hold so dear,” he said. “I’m very proud Council has committed to commemorating their sacrifice through this, and other tributes, including the World War I memorial in Mawson Park, and the plinths which have pride of place at Ingleburn Railway Station. Council is also currently working on a tribute to the 7th Light Horse Infantry that will celebrate their part in the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba.”
Ingleburn RSL Sub-branch president Ray James, who was also recently appointed the RSL NSW vice president praised the memorial.
