Description / Background

Plaque on stone plinth, surrounded by two tablets, and additional plaques, mounted on a perimeter wall. The tablets cover the First World War (left of centre) and the Second World War (right of centre).

The two tablets were removed from the original premises of the Epping RSL Sub branch, formed in 1919. This meeting hall was sold and the sub branch moved to Oxford Street, Epping. In 1995, the club was moved to Rawson Street, Epping.

The two tablets are now mounted at the memorial site in Boronia Park and were dedicated on 1 June 2008. The brass plaque with inscription was added in 2011, to the right side of the existing plaques.

Note: this record was previously titled Epping War Memorial Plaques.
