Yarloop War MemorialPrint Page 
The monument commemorates those who served in World War One and World War Two. It was originally erected to commemorate those who served in World War One.
The Yarloop War Memorial was unveiled on ANZAC Day 1922. The memorial, a granite obelisk 20ft 6 inches high, bears a tablet on each face containing the names of those killed and those who enlisted from the district. Protruding at right angles from each tablet is a crouching lion, carved in South African white marble.
The design for the memorial was won in competition by Mr Pietro Porcelli who also carried out its construction and erection and the supervision of M. J. Ochiltree, architect for the committee. The memorial contains the names of 199 men who returned including two Victoria Cross recipients under the heading "The Brave". On another brass plate the names of the 57 who paid the supreme sacrifice are inscribed.
