Soldiers Memorial Walk
This walk commemorates the sacrificial service of men and women from the Houghton, Inglewood and Hermitage districts who served and died at war.
Men and women of this District, many of whom are recorded on the monument in the Houghton Village Square, were called upon to serve our nation in theatres of war in far away places.
Their departure interrupted the peace and security of rural life and shattered the sense of isolation and safety long enjoyed. The heavy toll among those who served had a devastating impact on those who remained at home. It still has impact today.
It is in honour and memory of those who served to bring the freedom we enjoy today, that this walk is dedicated.
This plaque was unveiled by the Hon Alexander Downer MP Minister for Foreign Affairs Federal Member for Mayo
