Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL Memorial Chapel

Description:
A modern memorial chapel that makes extensive use of natural light. A central place of remembrance includes water flowing from a lit copper urn which rests upon a raised platform to form an eternal flame. Water and flame are both traditional symbols for everlasting life and remembrance.

The words LEST WE FORGET form a backdrop. Military associations for the three services (mortar, anchor and propeller) are included on the perimeter.

The Memorial is also dedicated to the memory of Bert Crook who was the Club's Secretary Manager when the Club was officially opened in 1947. At that time an earlier chapel served the Club's needs, and an illustration has been provided by the Club.
