Statement of Significance
Since its completion in 1924 this substantial war memorial has been something of a local landmark in addition to its primary role as the focus in Kyneton for remembering those killed in action in both wars and also associated occasions, particularly Anzac Day. The location of the memorial at the major intersection in the centre of the town and the memorial's size and quality of detailing, including a bronze wreath and complete with fence, illustrate the resources of the Kyneton community at that time and the importance of this memorial to them.
