Sydney Cenotaph (GPS: -33.86751, 151.20774) is a memorial built by the British to commemorate those who died in the various world wars. The cenotaph is located at Martin Place and is also called the Martin Place Memorial or simply The Cenotaph. Completed in 1929, it is one of the oldest monuments to World War I in Sydney.

The Sydney Cenotaph has a stone block flanked on either ends by the bronze statues. One statue depicts a soldier while the other a sailor. On the south side of the Cenotaph, facing the Sydney General Post Office, are the words "To Our Glorious Dead", which is same as appearing in most other British cenotaphs.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
