Physical Description

Small area to the north of the Brunswick Memorial Hall dedicated to those who fought in the wars. The space is dominated by decorative steel gates and arch which is inscribed with "Lest We Forget". The area is enhanced by paving and planting.

History

The war memorial gates were erected in 1948 to honour the men of the district who had served in both World Wars. The memorial was opened by the Governor of Western Australia Sir James Mitchell on 30 October 1948.
The gates were originally located at the rear of the hall then moved to the main gateway of the showgrounds. They were subsequently moved to the current location. The date of these relocations has not been determined.
