Comments: The original cenotaph was part of the Bentley Memorial Park. The title "Memorial" being synonymous to those who fell in the wars. As the Cenotaph deteriorated, it was decided to remove the tablets and secure them in the basement of the Town Administrative Office until such time as the new cenotaph was built. The administrative staff were kind enough to allow me into the vault to film them.
