It was decided that the erection of a war memorial should be proceeded with at once.
The memorial is to take the form of a clock-tower, which will be placed in a small ornamental area, lying between Kamerere Street and St. George’s Avenue.
It will be some 30 feet in height and con structed of re-inforced concrete to re semble white stone. The clock will be a four-dial face one.
Suitable emblems and inscriptions will appear at the base, and will commemorate the principal theatres of war, and will par
ticularly refer to the crew of the ill-fated submarine AEI, which disappeared so mysteriously in the vicinity of the Duke of York Group, off Rabaul Harbour, in 1914.
