WW1 Soldier Sculpture - Lakes Entrance, Vic, Australia - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

This is one more of the six carvings by John Brady, from Monterey Cypress pines that had originally been planted in 1924 as an avenue in memory of the Dead, and Injured of the district. When the trees became diseased and in need of removal a plan was made to make them into another form for the memory of the 26 soldiers of the district that lost their lives.

The soldier is depicted holding his upright rifle in his right hand (with a slouch hat on his head.

A plaque right beside the sculpture reads:
These Sculptures Honour the Memory of First World War Dead and Injured
Please treat them with respect
Lakes Entrance RSL

As this is part of a well-planned Multi Geocache, the month that the sculpture was completed is blocked out. (visit link)
