Glenfield war memorial

Glenfield war memorial.

'Recently 'done up', the memorial consists of three small, tapered timber columns of about 1.0 -1.3 metres in height standing between two low, ceramic 'columns' in which are embedded the bronze plaques taken from the original memorial, which used to be a wrought metal, overhead display between two ceramic posts situated at the approach to the east side of the hall. Each plaque holds the names of the fallen, one in each world war.

The approach to the monument is via a neatly planted memorial garden bed. Nearby is a small flagstaff provided by a local service club. The memorial is modest but appropriate. It has attracted extraordinary turnouts on ANZAC day commemorations for the last three years, something of a revival, reflecting not only the major upgrade which took place several ago, but also a wider revival of interest in commemorating the losses incurred during past wars.'
