it is sad to see that vandalism is worldwide, but the basic cause is just the same, and that is attention seeking by the vandals.
The treatment of vandalism Cases like this should be treated with all urgency. When the culprits are eventually caught, it should be an order of the court that a large quantity of a similar type of oil that was used in the descration of the memorial be poured slowly over the culprits and the names and photographs of the vandals be displayed in the local and national press. I can dream, can't I ? Ron
No respect These acts of mindless vandalism really make me angry. Ron I am afraid you will have to keep dreaming, sir. Even if the perpetrators are caught they would have the full force of the legal system working for them not against them. Unfortunately they and many of their generation do not know the meaning of "lest we forget" Regards Hugh
Angry and disgusted!!! I used to think that one should try to understand why morons did such things. Now that I am old I no longer care why! I just want them dealt with!
This is a horrible thing to do to a memorial commemorating dead servicemen. If they get caught, I think they should be given community service.
I think, that if they are caught, that they should resore the memorial to its original condition, but they provide the cleaning materials themselves!
Geraldton is not a huge town so there is a big chance these idiots will be known to police already. The memorial itself is a truly stunning place. I choked up the first time I walked through the entrance.
This is the memorial of the waiting women. Waiting Woman, HMAS Sydney Memorial, Geraldton, Western Australia pictures from australia photos on webshots And a good shot of the Geraldton War Memorial graves View attachment 1812
