Ringwood WW1 Armistice Heritage Walk
In 2018, Australia celebrated the Centenary of the Armistice of World War I. The Australian Government, through the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (DVA), established an Armistice Centenary Grant Program, which has provided the funds to establish the Ringwood World War 1 Armistice Heritage Walk.
The walk has ten signs, with details regarding the significance of World War I and the connection it has to the Ringwood community. The signs are located in chronological order, from 1914 to 1918, as the walk progresses up Maroondah Highway from the Clocktower, turning into Station Street and returning to the Clocktower.
This memorial walk acknowledges and commemorates those from Ringwood who served Australia and its allies in wars, conflicts and peace operations, and the effect of this in the local community of Ringwood.
This important historical and commemorative project involved a number of community groups and tells the social history of the community of Ringwood over 100 years ago, the trauma they endured and the sad stories and remarkable survival of families and individuals.
