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.
