Brian Templer Barton memorial, Military memorial in Kiryat Ono, Israel.
The Brian Templer Barton memorial is a cenotaph in Kiryat Ono with an English inscription beside a central square. It stands among residential buildings on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.
The memorial was built during World War I by Dr. Nat Barton to honor his brother Brian, who died in combat in 1917. Brian served in the 6th Light Horse Regiment and fell at the spot where the memorial now stands.
The inscription on the memorial connects Australian military service with the Barton family story from Wellington, New South Wales. It shows how personal bonds formed between Australia and this region through one family's experience.
The site is located in a residential area of Kiryat Ono and is easy to reach when approaching the neighborhood. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon, when there is less traffic on the nearby streets.
A kurrajong tree once stood at the site, planted by Dr. Nat Barton in 1925 to bridge Australian and local landscapes. This tree symbolized the lasting connection between two countries.
