Miriam Vale World War 2 Honor Roll, Qld, Australia - World War II Memorials / Monuments on Waymarking.com

The Honour Roll of those who died in World War Two is added to the southern side of the 1921 'The Great War' memorial that comprises of 'a life-sized stone statue of an Australian Infantry soldier standing with head bowed and arms reversed, on a substantial and ornate sandstone pedestal resting on a granite plinth.' [Wiki] It seems that the original spike steel fence is around the base of the monument. The shaped white marble tablet is attached to the side with four bolts. The leaded inscription has an arched header, with the following transcription:

It is at the southern end of a grassy space that has a very large fig tree, some parking, and the train line and station to the east. Opposite is the historic Miriam Vale Hotel.
