Emu Park Memorial CenotaphPrint Page 
The cenotaph commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
The white painted obelisk cenotaph was unveiled in 1922 and displays honour rolls to Emu Park Soldiers who served in World War One. It was presented by J. N. Lawson to the Ladies Emu Park Improvement Association and erected by them. Additional memorial walls and plaques commemorating subsequent conflicts have been erected and now form a memorial place.
The Emu Park Cenotaph was unveiled by Mr G.S. Curtis on ANZAC Day 1922. At the unveiling ceremony Mr Curtis recited the words of Tennyson's poem :-
"Britons myriad voices call
Sons be welded each and all
Into one Imperial whole,
One with Britain heart and soul;
One life, one flag, one fleet , one throne."
