Glebe War Memorial description

The Glebe War Memorial is designed in the form of a shrine. An interior chamber lists the names of those from Glebe who paid the supreme sacrifice in the First World War.

The memorial is a composite construction of stone, ornamental marble, concrete and bronze. The bust of an angel acts as a sentinel over the entrance to the enclosed chamber. On the left is the bust of an Australian soldier, on the right a sailor, all fashioned in white marble.

Various bronze motifs, including a State of New South Wales laurel wreath, the face of a woman within a laurel wreath, and remembrance torches, meaning and composite design. A cupola topped with an orb provides a solid Victorian quality to the structure.

The memorial has two guard lights and a light within the main chamber, all in disrepair.
