Soldiers' Memorial

Soldiers’
Memorial

2. The Soldiers’ Memorial
The Soldiers’ Memorial is located on the
corner of Norwood Primary School.

3. It is a white obelisk, and it is there so
we can remember old scholars who
went to the school, fought in the war
and died.

4. The obelisk represents the
soldiers that fought for us in
World War 1.

5. Back in those days, it was against the
rules to build it because the
government wanted more people to
fight for our country, instead of thinking
about death and what could happen to
the soldiers.

6. The obelisk was started to be built
in 1916 by the students of Norwood
Primary. No one really knows when
it was finished, but we know is was
definitely finished before 1918
because there is a photo of the
memorial before the Honour Roll
was launched.

7. In our school library there is a big Honour
Board that shows all the old scholars who
put their hand up to fight in war.
