Geelong and District Peace Memorial
  • Tip Rating:
  • Geelong and District Peace Memorial

    Notice this is called a Peace Memorial - not a war memorial - one of the foundation stones was laid in October 30th 1922 by Ald (Alderman) Howard Hitchcock - Mayor of Geelong.

    Ths building, found in Johnstones Park, Geelong honors the fallen in
    - The Great War 1914 - 1918
    - and it honors our other wars but I have lost the photos of those plaques so I will add them later - I like to be accurate in my details.
