There are two World War I War Memorials located in Melville Reserve, Hampstead Road, Homebush West. The Flemington Branch of the the Patriotic League raised funds for the erection of the Memorial Gates and in 1928 handed responsibility to Strathfield Council for erection of the gates.
The Melville Reserve Memorial Gates are two sandstone pillars supporting a decorative metal gate. The gates are stand alone and are not attached to either a fence or supporting wall. The plaque states:
‘These gates were erected by the citizens of Flemington in honour of those who enlisted in the Great War 1914-1918’.
The pedestrian concrete bridge, which crosses Saleyards Creek in Melville Reserve, states in the dedication plaque:
‘This bridge was erected by the Citizens of Flemington to the memory of those who fell in the Great War 1914-1918.’
