This project will be a permanent monument that will list all of those from the Seville township who have died while on active service. In images and text that tell the history of Seville's contribution to our nation's military heritage (including home front). It will honour Seville's only Victoria Cross recipient - George Ingram VC, MM. It will be a work of art and stand as a local icon. Four glass panels with images and text on the interior and exterior standing four metres high almost in a pyramid shape. It will be an educational and emotive tribute.
The community will have a place to gather together on days of national significance. They will have a place where it can honour the township's sacrifice to our nation. It will have its history and heritage displayed in a permanent way for generations to come. It will create a work of art to be admired and appreciated. It will be a local icon - not just for Seville but for the Yarra Valley. People from outside the area will come to see it and tourists will stop to view it - hopefully also assisting the local traders as well.

Many of our townsfolk gave so much during war time, yet we don't have an appropriate memorial for our community. This is it!

A beautifully conceived piece of public art. Such a significant memorial to Australian sacrifice will be sure to attract a high volume of tourists to the area. Bring it on!
