Description / Background

This war memorial consists of a concrete-block wall, two concrete plinths, and three flagpoles. These elements are arranged within a semi-circular lawn area next to the carpark of the Marrickville Police-Citizens Youth Club (PCYC). 

Attached to the front face of the wall are the bronze emblems of the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army, and Royal Australian Air Force. The plinths each hold a metal plaque, inscribed with details of the dedication and unveilings. 

The memorial was originally a gate for the Marrickville Bowling Club. It was dedicated on 5 December 1959. The additional elements were dedicated on 18 February 2004.
