Keilor Village CenotaphPrint Page 
The cenotaph commemorates those who have served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The cenotaph, which was built around 1920, was restored after a $10,000 grant to the Keilor Historical Society from the Premier's Restoring Community War Memorials Program along with allocated funds from Brimbank City Council.
On the 6th April 2011, memorial plaques (initiated by the Keilor Historical Society) were unveiled at the Cenotaph to honour World War One and World War Two veterans and nurses.
