Burnside District War Memorial

On Peace Day, 19 July 1919, several hundred residents of the District of Burnside gathered at the junction of Prescott Terrace and Alexandra Avenue in Rose Park to plant, dedicate and consecrate the Avenues of Honour. The avenues of trees are a living memorial to the fallen. In 1924, the Governor of South Australia, Lieutenant General Sir Tom Bridges, unveiled the bronze memorial statue. The statue was designed by Australian sculptor Charles Web Gilbert and depicts a soldier climbing over the top of a trench and turning back to offer a helping hand to his mate.

In 2020, the City of Burnside became aware that not all the fallen World War I soldiers of the Burnside District are recognised on the Memorial. Currently, 87 names are recognised on the memorial, including an assigned tree for each soldier along Alexandra Avenue and Prescott Terrace. Historical evidence suggests that some residents planted trees for their fallen loved ones, but they did not register the name. This means that some fallen soldiers of the district are yet to be recognised by name.
