Wagga Wagga Honour Roll and Eternal Flame Memorial Middle Image Image Image 0 / 0 - Prev Next Description / Background The memorial was originally erected in 1990 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli and to honour those from the Wagga Wagga district who served in the Second World War. It features a semi-circular memorial wall and an eternal flame, positioned in a circular pool. The wall contains multiple brass plaques bearing the names of more than 2000 men and women who enlisted from the district and saw active service during the Second World War. The memorial is located in the Victory Memorial Gardens, adjacent to the memorial archway. It was designed to complement the structure and design of the archway and park, through its circular paving and classic appearance. In a ceremony on 24 May 1990, the monument incorporating the eternal flame was officially handed over. The flame was officially lit by the late Ted Drake, a First World War ex-serviceman. More recently, the names of those who served in Korea, Malaysia, Borneo, Vietnam, Women Services and Anglo-Boer War have been added to the wall. The eternal flame was re-furbished in 2014-2015. It was re-dedicated on 24 February 2015 when the new flame was officially re-lit by a Second World War veteran, the late Mr Colin Bell.
