Wagga Wagga Second World War Homefront Memorial

The memorial is a bushrock faced with two brass plaques, located in the Victory Gardens close to Morrow Street in Wagga Wagga. It is in honour of individuals and organisations involved in the homefront during the Second World War, including the contribution of the Civil Construction Corps, Land Army, Protective Services, Volunteer Aid Detachment and the Volunteer Defence Corps. 

The Daily Advertiser, 13 November 1995 published details about the memorial, stating it was dedicated on 11 November. Mayor of Wagga Wagga Peter Drake spoke at the ceremony about the services of the organisations and also reported that it took some 50 years to recognise their efforts. He unveiled the plaque and Reverend Colin Rush dedicated the memorial in front of the 300 people who attended the service. Prior to the dedication, a Remembrance Day ceremony was held at the nearby cenotaph.
