State War Memorial
State War Memorial is an 18m granite obelisk that honours all Western Australians who gave their lives in the service of their country. The design is almost an exact replica of the Australian Imperial Force Memorials erected in France and Belgium. The internal walls of the undercroft list the names of more than 7,000 members of the services killed in action or who died of wounds or illness in WWI. Bronze plaques on the outside walls of the undercroft list the names of nearly 4,000 Australians who lost their lives in WWII. Names of the fallen from subsequent conflicts are also included here. Underneath the Cenotaph is the Roll of Honour - marble tablets with the names of all servicemen and women from Western Australia who passed away in the Boer War, World War I, World War II, Korean War or Vietnam. Glass cases enclose the colours of the 1st, and 2nd, 11th, 16th, 28th and 44th Infantry Battalions and of the 10th Light Horse Regiment. (Kings Park, Western Australia, Australia)
