Spanish Civil War Memorial Information

Story

Posted on

The memorial is a wall of sandstone blocks with red brick courses dedicated to the Australians who fought during the Spanish Civil War. There is a low sandstone and brick parapet on its north east side. On the wall is a bronze plaque above a bas relief map of the Iberian peninsular showing towns where major battles took place during the war. The bronze map and its associated text was created by Dr Ross Bastiaan who has placed a number of similar plaques in Australia and other countries commemorating Australian military endeavours. Below this is a plaque with a description in both Spanish and English.
