Honour Avenue Plaques - Kings Park, Perth

As an everlasting record I have photographed the memorial plaques in the Honour Avenues at King's Park, Perth. The first Honour Avenue was devised in Ballarat Victoria with the planting of an avenue of trees along the Western Highway in honour of each soldier who died in the district during WW1. The concept was soon embraced by communities Australia wide and has become a unique part of our history. Perth has been very fortunate the Highgate Returned Services League through the Honour Avenue Committee have maintained the plaques along the avenues and have ensured this uniquely Australian part of our history is preserved. While a large proportion of these soldiers where born in Western Australia many came from interstate and were of British origins drawn to Western Australia during the gold boom. Australia lost 8,000 men at Gallipoli and thousands more before wars end whose dreams, ambitions and contributions to this young nation would never be realised.
If you had an ancestor who enlisted in Western Australia and who died during his war service he may have a memorial plaque.
Please email me if you require further information or wish to obtain a photo of a plaque.
