Ensay Cenotaph - Ensay, Victoria, Australia - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

Facing up the sloping hillside from the column (Great Alpine Road side), the grey granite, upper face of the base of the Broken Column is for 'the Great War' [World War One], and reads:

   "GREAT WAR
    1914 - 1918
 A Tribute of Love
Erected by Parents
   and Friends
 in Sacred Memory of
 Our Fallen Soldiers
 Who Gave Their Lives
for God King & Country
   Lest We Forget"

On the lower face of the base is:

"   This Broken Column,
Symbolic of lives cut short,
is Dedicated to the Memory of
     the Men and Women
 of this District who Served
Australia in War and Conflict."

** THIS is where I personally got the importance and Symbolism of the Broken Column, as a category in Waymarking. **

on the lower face is the one for World War Two, which reads:

"World War. 1939 - 1945"
