ANZAC GatesPrint Page Print this page

The ANZAC Gates were erected to commemorate those who served in World War One. 

Tomorrow afternoon the Governor (Sir Walter Davidson) will be present at two functions in Petersham-the opening of ANZAC Gates in Petersham Park, and the unveiling of a trophy gun in Petersham Town Hall. The gates are in memory of the men who left Petersham and fought in the war; the gun was captured from the German army during the attack on the Hindenburg outpost line on September 8, 1918.
