Description
The Peace Memorial is located in Ellis Jeeves Reserve at the Five Ways, an important "landmark" location in the Dandenongs. The Ellis Jeeves Reserve is a small area of bushland. The memorial is a large block of granite (approx 1.65 m high) set on a rectangular plinth. A bronze plaque with a dove and olive branch at the top and wreath below records that it commemorates the "peace of 1919". Douglas Richardson is recorded on the memorial as its designer.
