Wattle Range Council has recently erected a new Remembrance / Memorial Wall adjacent the existing War Memorial, Glencoe, together with associated upgrading of the site. While the War Memorial commemorates the residents of Glencoe who were killed or missing in World War I and World War II, the Remembrance Wall provides an opportunity for Glencoe residents and descendants to commemorate the widows and young children who had to make do on their own, as well as newer settlers whose descendants past and present, make up the local community.
The addition of this Memorial Wall will provide a focus for residents and visitors that will:
- Properly recognise Glencoe’s place in the history of the Limestone Coast.
- Provide an enhanced setting for the annual ANZAC Day ceremonies, and
- Provide a focal place for residents to pay tribute to their loved ones.
