Redhill War MemorialPrint Page 
The marble obelisk commemorates those from the District who died in service or were killed in action in World War One and World War Two. It was originally erected to commemorate World War One.
Before a large gathering the memorial of the people of Redhill, to those men of the district who fell in the great war was unveiled on Sunday. Councillor D. Brown presided. Mr. R. D. Nicholls, M.P., who performed the ceremony, paid a tribute to the men of the district who had foregone all the comforts of home life and risked everything in the defence of the Empire.
It was the duty of the citizens to keep before them the memory of the great sacrifices they had made. It would be a fitting memorial to those who died if it were possible for some of their English soldiers, who fought side by side with the Australians, to come out and help to people this great productive Commonwealth.
