HMAS Sydney I - SMS Emden Memorial, War memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney, Australia.
The HMAS Sydney I - SMS Emden Memorial features a naval gun from the German cruiser SMS Emden, mounted on a stone pedestal in Hyde Park.
The memorial commemorates the 1914 naval battle between HMAS Sydney and SMS Emden, which resulted in Australia's first major naval victory during World War I.
