Marian Tree Avenue Plaques 1914–1918

Enamelled metal plaques, with a blue background and white lettering were manufactured using a pressing/stamp technique. Each plaque bares the soldiers name, unit, area of service and battle details.

The six plaques are the remains of a set of fourteen which were originally mounted on weeping fig trees growing on Anzac Avenue Marian. The trees and their plaques were intended to honour the memory of fourteen Marian and District soldiers who lost their lives during World War I, 1914–1918.

In 2010, the six plaques are mounted on a stand to optimize viewing for the public.
