Avro Anson Memorial, Military memorial near Clackline, Western Australia.
The memorial consists of a granite and boulder cairn topped with a jarrah cross displaying names of four Royal Australian Air Force servicemen.
In October 1942, four RAAF airmen from No 68 Reserve Squadron lost their lives when their Avro Anson aircraft crashed during a training mission.
The local community gathered materials and constructed the initial memorial within months of the crash, demonstrating strong connections between civilians and military personnel.
Annual memorial services take place at the site, which received accessibility improvements in 2013 including concrete paths and handrails for visitor safety.
The memorial incorporates local materials, with granite stones from the region and a cross crafted from Western Australian jarrah wood.
