Hobart Cenotaph is a 75 foot tall, granite obelisk which pays tribute to Tasmanian soldiers who have died in service since 1914. Near the base is the inscription, “Lest We Forget.” Leading up to the cenotaph is a groomed mall lined with cedar trees named Soldier’s Memorial Avenue. The war memorial is located on land previously called Queens Battery, one of many coastal artillery positions created by British colonists in the early 19th century and operational until 1923.
