Northcote CenotaphPrint Page 
The cenotaph commemorates those who have died in service or been killed in action in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. It was originally unveiled in 1922 to commemorate those who died in service or been killed in action in World War One.
The cenotaph consists on a curved wall with supporting columns that list a number of battles of World War One, and in front of it is a grey broken column cenotaph which has dark grey plaques on each side, inscribed with gold lettering.

The memorial hall was declared open at the same time by the Mayor (Councillor A. McDonell). Of the 1,000 soldiers who enlisted from Northcote 300 lost their lives.
