Centenary of ArmisticePrint Page 
The life-sized First World War soldier, along with two small stone obelisks, was commissioned by Council and Parramatta RSL Sub Branch to commemorate the Centenary of Armistice in 2018 and is dedicated to the men and women of Parramatta who served in the First World War.
On 11 November 2018, we marked not only the annual Remembrance Day commemorations but also the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, the cessation of hostilities in World War One, bringing to an end a terrible and destructive war.
