The Mount Torrens Soldiers Memorial Hall Committee of Management have secured funding to enhance the memorial prominence of the Hall. These concept images outline a proposed ‘War Memorial to Remember’, prepared February 2026.
Please let us know what you think, send us a message here.
Proposed text on south wall - a direct quote from the minute book:
“A public hall is a thing that has long been needed, and it was thought that nothing better or more lasting as a memorial to those lads who had gone to serve their country (some never to return)…The idea is to work up interest and to get a united effort. The repatriation day results show what a small locality can do if the effort is a united one." February 1919.
Proposed text on north wall:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
The proposed image is a scan from an original photo archived at the Mount Torrens District History room.
A Roll of Honour was installed at the hall in 1948.
