Recognition of War Memorial – Callan Park
Friends of Callan Park (FOCP) want to see the unique ‘Harbour Bridge’ War Memorial at Callan Park conserved and protected.
The memorial is a replica of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and was completed in 1931, the year before the actual Sydney Harbour Bridge was opened.
It was unveiled by the Governor of NSW, Sir Philip Game, on 4 August 1931 on the Veterans site.
The memorial is currently located in front of Repat B Ward on the southern side of the Waterfront Oval.
Douglas Grant, an Indigenous WW1 veteran, designed the memorial and constructed it with the help of other veterans residing in the Repatriation wards at Callan Park.
