Wahroonga War MemorialPrint Page

The obelisk with clock inset commemorates those who served in World War One. 

"I would appeal to you to put aside that sorrow you must feel for the men who died, and to substitute for it a very real pride — pride in their splendid valor, in their generous sacrifice. Make also your own determination to play your part in the world with a little more courage, a little more sense of the duty you owe to your country determine that to your fellow men. and women you are going to be a little kinder — those are the greatest things you can do; by doing them you will best honor the memory of the men who died to keep Australia free."

These and like manly counsels the Prime Minister, erstwhile Captain S. M. Bruce, M.C., gave to the people of Wahroonga yesterday afternoon when he unveiled there a war memorial. It is a monument of chaste simplicity in granite, and the names of the men are graven on tablets of black trachyte. On one face there is a tablet bearing the names of 37 men — their names only, without rank or distinction — who did not come back.
