Glenroy RSL CenotaphPrint Page 
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 had served in World War One.
The cenotaph, made of granite sitting on a concrete base, was erected in the early 1920’s, and was initially located on the corner of Wheatsheaf Road and Glenroy Road. After the founding of the Glenroy RSL in 1951-52 a block of land was purchased on Glenroy Road in anticipation that one day a club house could be built on the site for the use by returned servicemen.
This was finally achieved in 1957, and prior to the completion of the club house the Broadmeadows Council agreed to move the cenotaph to the vacant block and this was completed in June 1956. The first wreath to be laid at the new location was on ANZAC Day 1957 by His Worship the Mayor of Broadmeadows K. J. Robinson.
The cenotaph has 28 names of those men from the area who served their country with four of them either dying in service or killed in action.
