In 2016, the delightful Rosemary statue installed in Victory Park, Ascot Vale, in honour of the enduring sacrifice made by women who cared for veterans of World War I, was cut off at the ankles. It was replaced a year later by the City of Moonee Valley. You can read our original story, here.
However, we were informed on Monday, April 13, 2026 that Rosemary has just suffered the same fate again - cut off at the ankles and the statue stolen. This is a sad thing for the community, especially happening so close to ANZAC Day, when we remember all the victims of the First World War.
Vanished Victoria is hopeful that the City of Moonee Valley will replace Rosemary again.
