A small cache located near the Adelaide River War Cemetery and the Adelaide River Bush Cemetry. The cemetery grounds and gardens are immaculately maintained and situated along the Adelaide River Esplanade.
During WW2 Adelaide River was the headquarters of a large base and the Adelaide River War Cemetery was created especially for the burial of servicemen and women who died in this part of Australia.
After the war, the Army Graves Service moved graves from civil cemeteries, isolated sites and temporary military burial grounds, into the Adelaide River War Cemetery. There are 434 burials comprising of service men and women from Australian, British and Canadian defence forces.
The War Cemetery adjoins the Adelaide River Civil Cemetery in which 63 civilians are buried, including nine post office workers who were killed on 19 February 1942, as a result of a direct hit on the Post Office by Japanese bombs.
Please take time to pay your respects and spare a thought for those who fought and died in order to protect our country.
