“The memorial featured a black marble engraved plaque inset into the granite obelisk, which has been taken,” president Phil Edwards said.

“This is particularly upsetting in the lead-up to Remembrance Day, a time when our community comes together to remember and honour those who have served. It is unlikely to be replaced in the time remaining before the Remembrance Day commemorative service.”

The organisation calling anyone with information to contact Victoria Police.
