Kersbrook Soldiers Memorial ParkPrint Page 
The park was established to commemorate those who served in World War One. The original arch is now sited to the left of the main entrance and is listed as a separate entry.
On Saturday, 1st October, the soldiers' memorial park was opened by the Minister of Repatriation (Hon. G. R. Laffer). The Minister, who was introduced by the chairman of the park committee (Mr. E. J. Powell), referred to the nobility of sacrifice and service of the soldiers, of which the park would be a lasting memorial, and said Australia must fill up her empty spaces and make complete again the ranks of her population that had been depleted by the waste of war.
The Government's immigration policy was mentioned as a useful means of doing this. Mr. Laffer then passed through a guard of honor formed by the school children, under the control of Mrs. Belcher. 'The Song of Australia' and the National Anthem were rendered by the scholars.
Chronicle (Adelaide), 8th October 1921.
