Kelmscott War Memorial commemorates those from Kelmscott who served overseas in World War One and those who lost their life in World War Two.

History

Tomorrow (Saturday) the foundation-stone of a massive granite obelisk in commemoration of the men who enlisted from the Kelmscott, Roleystone, and Karragullen districts will be laid by Major-General Sir Talbot Hobbs, at 3 p.m. The obelisk, which will be of imposing dimensions, will occupy a commanding site in the Kelmscott recreation ground, on the Canning River, and the work of its erection has been entrusted to Messrs. Peters and Gillies. [1]
On Sunday afternoon his Excellency will unveil an obelisk which has been erected at Kelmscott to the memory of the men of that district who fell in the war.[2]


Setting

The monument is set prominently on the corner of River Road and Orlando Street, Kelmscott. This is also the north-west corner of the Kelmscott Agricultural Showgrounds at Rushton Park.
