Chelmsford Place War Memorial Print Page

The Chelmsford Place War Memorial commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action during World War One and World War Two. It was originally erected to commemorate those from World War One with the names of those from World War Two added at a later date. The ANZAC Memorial Clock was installed on top of the obelisk on the 11th November 1965. 

Interest has again been roused in connection with the Soldiers' Monument in Chelmsford Place, Leeton, by the erection of the contractor's shop for storage of cement. The committee, with Mr. James Sharpe, jeweller, as the energetic secretary, intend to spend £250 in erecting a standard on each corner, which will the centre of the base a cement pyramid, 16 feet high, 10 feet square at the bottom and 7 feet square at the top.

This will complete the monument with the exception of the marble tablets that are to bear the names of the deceased soldiers and the chains that will hang from corner to corner. Although the committee have let out work amounting to £250 that money is not all in hand, but it is felt that once the public see the money being spent everyone will throw in a little to help this worthy project on towards completion.
