About
The East Maitland War Memorial Centre is a brick and timber building, located next to the Fire Station. At the front of the property is a curved brick fence with a wrought iron gate, which has a decorative wrought iron archway over the top. The arch bears the words 'War Memorial Centre' in gold lettering. Attached to the four brick pillars flanking the gate are four brass plaques: Plaque 1 lists the theatres of operation in the First World War and plaque 4 honours the 100th anniversary of the end of the war. Both plaques were installed in 2018 and were supported by an Armistice Centenary Grant from the Federal Government. Plaque 3 acknowledges the theatres of operation in Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq; Timor-Leste, and Afganistan. It was supported by a Community War Memorials Fund grant from the NSW Government. Plaque 2 is in honour of those who fell in the Second World War, Korea, and the Malayan Emergency.
