Transcription

Cranbourne Memorial Oak Trees / South Gippsland Highway / This beautiful avenue of oak trees (Quercus Robur) was planted in 1919 / in honour of those Cranbourne and district sons and daughters who served in / World War One, 1914-1918. Since this time, many more trees have been planted / in the avenue to acknowledge those who served in subsequent conflicts.

A plaque was placed beside each tree of the original planting and an official event, / organised by the Cranbourne Patriotic Association, was held on 9 August 1919 / to commemorate the planting.

This stone memorial and shelter continues this most worthy remembrance for / those Cranbourne and district men and women who served their country with honour.

    Hi Joan,
    thank you for the link to the Clyde North State School Honour Roll, it will help anyone looking for this information enormously.

    Thank you for the very generous offer to add the board to CCR, but doing so as a single piece won’t entirely fit the concept of this website as the volunteers will photograph and transcribe every monument or memorial like they did at the Berwick RSL, including not only honour boards but anything else that has a name or names attached to it as well. And what they find never fails to surprise!

    Hi there Lynne,

    Would you like to add the information about the men and women from Clyde who served in the First World War?
