The original 26 trees were planted in 1919, 40 years before the erection of the memorial stone.

Cr George Rae unveiled the stone on Anzac Day 1959 before a crowd of more than 100 people that included two of the soldiers listed, Alf Edmondson and Alex McNab.

    That is lovely tribute.

    Leslie Gordon Way wrote letters to the Mother of My Great Uncle (killed in the war) and at last I have found a family descendant to pass on a copy of them.
    Thank you,

      I have just read your comment. I am researching Leslie Gordon Way for our Harkaway cemetery tour. Can you tell me the name of your great uncle and perhaps the name of Leslie’s descendant.

      I would love to hear from you
