Statement of Significance

The memorial is a representative monument, of social and environmental significance.

Physical Description

The War Memorial at North Fremantle was erected in 1923 in commemoration of the citizens of the district who had lost their lives in the first world war. An additional roll was attached in 1945. The granite base and railings were designed and constructed by G C Smith & Co. a family company of Monumental Masons who still operate in Fremantle. The marble statue of the unknown soldier was imported from Italy. The cost of the monument was raised by subscription within the Municipality of North Fremantle, a fact that older residents recall with great pride.
