The war memorial was constructed in 1919, the year after the end of World War One. A standard statue and plinth memorial design, it was built by prominent stonemasons Andrew L. Petrie & Sons. Placed at the busy intersection of Manly and Wynnum Roads, the original memorial featured urns at each corner of the plinth that held a ‘digger’ statue and an iron fence enclosure. The first memorial was partly demolished in two traffic accidents in 1937. It was rebuilt but without the urns plus a replacement ‘digger’ statue. Subsequently the memorial’s location has developed into a traffic island/park containing flowerbeds, ornamental leopard trees and five pine trees.
