ANZAC Memorial Park was established to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved.
It commemorates 321 local war dead, whose names are inscribed in curved walls. A scuplture of a Light Horse soldier and his "Waler" horse is the centrepiece of the $500,000 memorial.
Through the SITA Community Grants program, Serpentine-Jarrahdale RSL has received a $5,000 grant to help build the ANZAC Memorial Park at the ‘The Glades’ in Byford. They also received funding through the "Saluting Their Service " Program.
This memorial was unveiled on the 18th April 2015 by the Western Australian State President of the Returned & Service League of Australia the Hon Graham Edwards. AM
Today we dedicate ourselves to the cause of justice, freedom and peace ; and for the wisdom and strength to build a better world.
This Memorial Park is a Centenary of ANZAC commemorative gift from LWP Property Group in coalition with the Serpentine - Jarrahdale RSL to the people of the Shire of Serpentine - Jarrahdale and dedicated to all those who served.
Typical of a Lighthorseman during the Gallipoli campaign. His informal dress reflects the adaptability of the troops to the cramped trench fighting conditions on Gallipoli whilst forging the Spirit of the ANZAC during the 1915 campaign.
The gallant "Waler", one of the finest cavalry horses of the world, carried the lighthorseman throught the most harrowing of battles. The horses were called Walers because, although they came from all parts of Australia, they were originally sold through New South Wales.
They were sturdy, hardy horses, able to travel long distances in hot weather with little water. The Wales carried the rider, saddle, saddle cloth, bridle, head collar, lead rope, a horseshoe case with one front and one hind shoe, nails, rations for the horse and rider, a bedroll, change of clothing, a rifle and about 90 rounds of .303 rifle ammuntion.
The Royal Australian Air Force Association (ACT Division) Memorial Grove is surrounded by a pathway leading to a number of plaques commemorating Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) units, schools and schemes. In the centre of the grove is a sandstone plinth topped with a metal cross. On the plinth is the badge of the RAAF Association (ACT Division) and a plaque commemorating the service of the men and women of the RAAF.
The two black granite blocks at the entrance to the grove are from the Royal Australian Air Force Memorial on Anzac Parade, Canberra. They were transferred when the Anzac Parade memorial was redesigned in 2002.
The Royal Australian Air Force Memorial Grove is a prominent testimonial to those who served and those who died as well as being a historical record of the Royal Australian Air Force`s strong link with the national capital and the people of Canberra.
The latin motto "per Ardua ad Astra" originated in 1912 and the formative years of the Royal Flying Corps. The motto was approved by King George V on the 15th March 1913 and subsequently adopted by the Royal Air Force in 1918 with the Royal Australian Air Force following in 1923.
The motto was without an authorative English translation. This caused conjecture as to the true meaning.
On 27th January 2002 Chief of Air Force Air Marshal Angus Houston AM AFC endorsed a recommendation to give authority to the meaning "Through adversity to the Stars"
This plaque honours the men of the Australian Flying Corps and the men and women of the Royal Australia Air Force. It honours those among them that made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Exemplifies the legacy of their service and guides those who follow. They shall not be found wanting.
