The RSL War Memorial was erected in memory of those who have served in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and other conflicts where Australia was involved. In particular it remembers those from the Barkly region.
The Dedication of the memorial will be this ANZAC Day 25th April 1998 at 11:00am.
The memorial is made from local Territory Granite (Mt Bundy), designed by Mrs Karen Thompson of Tennant Creek and made by Tillets of Adelaide.
This project was undertaken by the RSL sub branch of Tennant Creek and the Memorial Club. The RSL sub branch have entered into a 99 year lease with the Memorial Club which will ensure the ongoing commitment of the RSL in Tennant Creek. Membership of the RSL in Tennant Creek is currently 32, spanning from World War II to present day service personnel. The RSL sub branch thanks the people of Tennant Creek for their support in its fund raising enabling the building of the memorial. The next step is to convert the existing RSL Building into a museum which when completed will be open to the public, tourists and school groups.
