The monument commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One.
The war memorial underwent renovations to coincide with its 100 years anniversary in 2022.
The unveiling ceremony of the Austinmer Soldiers' Memorial was carried out on Thursday of last week, under ideal weather conditions before a gathering of about 500 people. The beach presented a pleasing spectacle and flags were flown in abundance in honour of the occasion. Mr. George Cram, president of the Memorial Committee outlined the history of the memorial movement, which started 12 months ago. M. Cram then called upon Mrs. Cheadle to unveil the memorial, and , amidst profound silence the Union Jack fell from the memorial.
