Description / Background

This war memorial is a white marble honour roll tablet for the First World War. It is mounted on a sandstone wall near Dee Why Beach, however, it is likely it was moved there from its original setting.

On the back of the wall is a bronze plaque commemorating 70 years of Anzac Day services by the Dee Why RSL sub-Branch.
