Sutton Grange War MemorialPrint Page
The monument commemorates those who served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
It was originally erected to commemorate those from Sutton Grange and Myrtle Creek who served in World War One. The names of those who served in the South African (Boer) War, World War Two and the Vietnam War were added at a later date.
A granite obelisk, 15 feet high, erected at Sutton Grange by Sutton Grange and Myrtle Creek residents to perpetuate the memory of the 21 soldiers who enlisted from those districts, was unveiled by the Premier (Mr Lawson). Five of the soldiers whose names appear on the stone made the supreme sacrifice.
