2020 marks 75 years since the end of the Second World War. To commemorate this important year, the NSW Government interviewed WWII veterans about their experiences. Read our 75th Anniversary Stories.
The memorial is a sandstone column with marble plaques inset into each of the four sides. On top is a marble soldier holding a flag. The soldier is facing the south east. There are three flag poles around this memorial. The memorial is located on the south east corner of Gregson Park, at the intersection of several footpaths.
This monument was erected by the citizens of Hamilton in honour of our soldiers who fought in the Great War of 1914 - 1919.
