Regimental Square, War memorial in Wynyard, Sydney, Australia
Regimental Square is a war memorial on Wynyard Street in the central business district of Sydney, Australia. A sandstone wall runs the full width of the street and carries bronze soldier sculptures alongside the names of those who fell.
The memorial was commissioned by the Royal Australian Regiment Association, which raised funds through member and friend subscriptions plus a $3,000 gift from the South Korean government. Sculptor Dennis Adams OAM created the work, and Governor of New South Wales Sir Roden Cutler unveiled it on 8 December 1976. It commemorates the regiment's campaigns in Korea, Malaya and Vietnam.
The square is a pedestrian section of Wynyard Street, so the memorial is passed daily by office workers and commuters rather than visited as a separate site. Its form as a street-wide sandstone wall with bronze figures places the soldiers' actions directly in the path of city life.
The memorial sits close to George Street in Sydney's central business district and is easy to reach on foot. Stopping during the day gives the best chance to read the wall without heavy foot traffic around you.
The memorial was funded largely by subscriptions from association members and friends, topped up by a $3,000 gift from the Government of South Korea. Sculptor Dennis Adams OAM received the commission from the Royal Australian Regiment Association. The bronze figures are mounted on a Sydney sandstone wall measuring 8 metres long and 1.5 metres high.
