    Mentone Memorial Gates - Veterans Description for Public

    The Memorial Gates in the Keith Styles Reserve, on Mentone Parade, commemorate the First World War. Built c.1920, the gates are formed from coarsely hewn granite blocks arranged in a semi circle. A formal cast iron fence, incorporating decorative rosette element extends from the memorial gates along the street frontage. The pediment bears the inscription: 'To the glorious memory of the men of Mentone who gave their lives for our freedom 1914-1919. The trumpet sounded and they entered into their rest.' Above the inscription is the coat of arms of Australia with wreaths. The two columns are etched with honor rolls listing the men from Mentone who lost their lives during the war.
