The Mosman War Memorial is located on the corner Myahgah Road and The Crescent at Mosman. The original World War 1 memorial is a large grey stone obelisk, dedicated in 1922. A flagpole, a small stone to commemorate World War 2 and a memorial sundial were added to commemorate subsequent conflicts. This memorial sits on the edge of Allan Border Oval, surrounded by six cypress trees.
The Ashfield war memorial stands in the centre of Ashfield Park, beside Parramatta Road, in the inner west suburb of Ashfield. It was established in 1921 and dedicated as a grateful tribute to the soldiers, sailors and nurses who volunteered and gave their lives in World War 1. It is a ten metre high obelisk on a concrete plinth with an enamelled tiled floor. The Rosemary Bushes have been planted by Ashfield Council in memory of those who gave their lives in the Boer War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Malayan War and Vietnam War. The wreaths at the base of the memorial have been laid to commemorate Anzac Day, which is a day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand today.
