Breakfast Point, war memorial

This war memorial is located near the Village Green, on the corner of Village Drive and Juniper Street, in the inner west suburb of Breakfast Point. This was once the site of the Mortlake Gas Works of the Australian Gaslight Company from 1884 to 1998, later redeveloped to create a high density residential area with houses and high rise apartments. The tablets were from the original war memorial in Tennyson Road dedicated in 1926 but this memorial was rededicated in 2010. The first tablet reads: In memory of the employees of the Australian Gas Light Coy. who gave their lives for King and Country in the 1914 1918 World War. The second tablet reads: 1939 - 1945 In memory of all who served in World War II and of those who gave their lives. 'Lest We Forget'.
