Statement of Significance

The Carrum soldiers' memorial is of architectural and historical significance at a local level. The physical fabric is significant as a handsome example of an off the shelf war memorial and of some minor interest for the inaccuracies in the detailing to the uniform. It is historically significant as part of a wave of memorials constructed to honour Australian servicemen after WW1.

  The Carrum Soldiers' Memorial, on Stephens Street and The Beauty Spot,is a handsome example of an 'off the shelf' war memorial. It comprises of a statue in marble of an infantryman, standing at ease with his rifle at his side. The pedestal is constructed of granite with the names of local residents killed during the conflict inscribed on the sides. The statue is clearly of an Alpino soldier with characteristic head gear of the type provided by Anselm Odling of Sydney. The memorial dates from c.1920 and was built to honour Australian servicemen after the First World War. An inscription on the pedestal notes that it was 'erected by the residents in grateful remembrance of the heroes of Carrum who made the supreme sacrifice in the great war 1914-1919.' The Carrum Soldier's Memorial was further inscribed after the Second World War to include the names of locals killed during that conflict.
