Historical information

The crowd shown is gathered for the unveiling of the war memorial in 1920. In 1947, members of the Boyanup RSL arranged to purchase land to create a Memorial Park which would be dedicated to service members of both wars. The memorial monument was moved to the new park in 1948.
