Cleveland War Memorial

The 1920 memorial that is the centrepiece of Anzac Park features a broken column complete with rifle and laurel wreath; the name Cleveland set around each side of base of column; a stepped base; eight bollards forming a square around the memorial, and three flagpoles beside the memorial. The centre plaque, for the First World War, carries the names of a Captain, Sergeant, Lance Corporal and 12 Privates, 15 in total. Carved under this plaque are two flags and a rising sun, and the lower plaque for the Second World War lists 12 soldiers, one winning the Military Medal; Sister C Thiedeke, and one listed as Missing. Black plaques with gold lettering have been added for Malaya, Borneo, Korea and Vietnam. Adjacent flagpoles are actually yachting spars and have the ropes concealed from vandals. Southeast of the 1920 memorial are two more recent memorials, set in front of gaps in a low, commemorative wall, with associated gardens and paving. One of the later memorials is a stone plinth, dedicated to War Animals. This has a bronze plaque on its front, and is surmounted by a metal statue of a dog. The other memorial is a bronze statue of an Australian military nurse and a soldier, set on a marble base.
