Summary

Black and white photograph of the Waikerie Soldiers' Memorial Institute, which was built in memory of the ten soldiers from Waikerie who died in WWI. The foundation stone for the memorial hall was laid on 18 March 1920 by General Birdwood, who was on tour, and the building was opened on Saturday 18 June 1921 by Mr W.D. Price M.C., president of the Returned Soldier's Association, and a large Union Jack was unfurled. This photograph may possibly be of the 1921 opening. A researcher has noted that the hall was later added to, and this new Institute Hall was officially opened on Thursday 30 August 1928, by Sir William Sowden, chairman of the Institutes' Association.
