A large column constructed of sandstone blocks to form a cenotaph and decorated with a laurel wreath and gilt name plate. The memorial is dedicated to the Punchbowl soldiers who fought in the Great War, 1914-1918. It is located in the centre of the road in a memorial garden. The memorial was relocated from a site closer to Punchbowl Railway Station.
Additional information by Sydney Trains:
The cenotaph was originally unveilled in 1919 at a site on the corner of Punchbowl Road and The Boulevarde, next to the railway overbridge. By the 1960s, the volume of road traffic necessitated a bridge widening. By agreement with the Punchbowl RSL, the cenotaph was relocated to the wide centre island in The Broadway in October - November 1979, where it stands today.
