Heritage listing
Details The tall stone memorial stands in an arc of ground to the W side of Scrogg Road, aligned with Melton Avenue and other radiating roads of the housing estate, and with the western entrance to Walker Park. It takes the form of a figure of Victory surmounting a tapering pylon, which stands on a broad plinth. The plinth stands on a low three-stepped base. The uppermost section of the pylon is ornamented with equal-armed crosses carved in low relief. The inscription to the front face of the pylon reads ERECTED BY/ PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION IN/ HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE GALLANT MEN OF/ WALKER WHO SACRIFICED/ THEIR LIVES IN THE/ GREAT WAR./ 1914-1918./ 1939-1945./ THEY DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE.
