Narre Warren Memorial Gates

This is where the Memorial Gates were situated at the time we surveyed the site (December 2011). The Memorial Gates comprisd four pillars – the inside pillars commemorating World War One were erected first, the outside pillars commemorating World War Two were later additions. A small keystone sat just in front of the flag pole. The plaque was on a rock just to the side.
