Description
A First World War Memorial built in the Corso, a street running from the beach to the wharf. The memorial was funded by Mr Mark Mitchell in honour of his son 1323 Private Alan David Mictchell, 1st Battalion, who died of wounds on 5 May 1915. It cost approximately 1000 pounds and was unveiled by the Governor General on 14 October 1916. It originally had the names of men from the Manly district who lost their lives in the First World War, but names from subsequent conflicts have also been added.
