Victory CrossPrint Page 
Funding of $5000 was received in 2018 through the Armistice Centenary Grants Program for the installation of the cross and flagpole.
The Rutherglen RSL Sub-branch will use an Armistice Day grant from the federal government to install a Victory Cross and flag pole at the town’s Carlyle Cemetery. It will be the first addition of its kind to the cemetery, where numerous ex-service personnel are buried.
Sub-branch secretary David Martin said the cross was hoped to be unveiled on Remembrance Day. “We thought it important to do this at Carlyle, especially with the Armistice, and there’s nothing out there currently,” he said.
Memorials in Stone in Wodonga will construct the two-metre cross with a plaque, weighing about two-and-a-half tonnes. They also designed a granite soldier, which was unveiled in February last year in a ceremony attended by Australian War Memorial director Brendan Nelson.
Mr Martin said the cross and plaque had been a project since the start of 2017. “It’s going to be dedicated to all ex-service personnel buried at Carlyle,” he said.

A single block of granite carved into the shape of a memorial cross will be unveiled on Sunday to mark the Centenary of Armistice. The 2.5metre tall cross stands near the rotunda at the centre of Carlyle Cemetery. Rutherglen RSL Sub-Branch Secretary David Martin said the project resulted from Federal Government funding received under the Armistice Centenary Grants Program.
