Summary

Soldier's Memorial Hall, Renmark. A settlement began to grow in this area in 1887 when the Renmark Irrigation Settlement was established using open drains to irrigate the orchards planted in the area. The name Renmark comes from the Aboriginal word meaning "red mud". The Capital Theatre was housed in the Soldiers Memorial Hall. The guns out the front of the building are captured German artillery. The memorial stone on the front of the building reads "This stone was laid by General Sir WR Birdwood, Baronet, GCMG, KCB, KCSI, CIE, DSOADC. General to the King, 16th March 1920"
