Mount Evelyn First World War Avenue of Honour
Between 1918 and 1919 thirty-six gum trees were positioned, in two rows each with a guard and a plaque, down the south-east side of Wray Crescent. In tribute to each man from Mount Evelyn and Silvan who served in the First World War. The trees on the east side were planted in memory of those from Silvan and the trees on the west side were for the Mount Evelyn servicemen.

Over the years the tree guards and all but one of the plaques have disappeared and in 1985 the remaining trees had to be taken down.
