The 26 Oak trees commemorate those who served in World War One.
The original World War One Avenue of Honour was planted in 1917, and the trees were removed in 1982 to allow road widening. In September 2021, the trees were planted to reinstate the Avenue of Honour.

Lest We Forget
Plaque :
This memorial cairn was erected by the Seymour Sub-Branch of the Returned Service League to replace the original avenue of trees which were planted by the citizens of Seymour in 1917. Each tree represented a District soldier who enlisted and served in the 1914 - 1918 war. The carriage-way known then as Old Trawool Road was renamed ANZAC Avenue.
In 1982, to permit road duplication, the avenue of trees was removed, and by the erection of this memorial the Seymour Sub-Branch R.S.L. trust that the history and tradition of ANZAC Avenue will always be preserved.
President : Ralph E. Wilson Secretary : Ian D. Paterson
