Description / Background

On 15 January 1919, a public meeting was held in the Armidale Town Hall to consider the erection of a war memorial. A committee was formed and submissions from the general public were called for. In March, it was decided to select six submissions, however many issues arose particularly in reference to cost and the method of voting on the proposals. In time, three proposals were accepted including a sportsground. Much attention was devoted to fundraising by the Sportsground War Memorial Committee. The grandstand was completed in 1921 and the memorial entrance was completed in July 1923.
